2021 IEBC: A Focus on Commercial Structure to Residential

Virtual

Last year, California Building Standards Commission altered California’s Title 24 Part 10 Existing Building Code (CEBC) by adding Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) into the 2022 CEBC. What does this mean? Adding these chapters into the CEBC provides more pathways for compliance when working with existing buildings in California for occupancy changes. The ICC has developed courses on these new-to-California chapters and compliance pathways for adaptive reuse projects. ICC's course 2021 IEBC: A Focus on Commercial Structure to Residential will discuss the requirements for a change of occupancy from a warehouse (S-1 or S-2) to a condo or apartment complex using the 2021 IEBC.

Creating an Attractive, Affordable and Sustainable Ownership Transition Plan

Virtual

Earn 1 LU for attending live.  Many firms are actively considering expanding their ownership teams and/or transitioning ownership to a new generation of leaders. They know that offering ownership is essential to ensure the ongoing prosperity of their firms, to attract and retain highly qualified and ambitious staff, and to enable current owners to benefit from the value they created through long years of hard work. However, challenges abound. Many prospective owners are focused on living a balanced life--of which work is but one element. Some have limited financial resources to invest in purchasing equity in a firm. Others have narrow comfort zones and are leery of the risks that accompany ownership. In this webinar, transition advisor Michael Strogoff, FAIA, and attorney Jennifer Suzuki will discuss lessons learned from their years of experience assisting firms with ownership transitions. Attendees will leave the webinar with a better understanding of how to structure a transition framework that balances the professional, financial, and legal concerns of buyers and sellers.
