The 14-session program, which is open to the public, is specifically designed to help construction superintendents pass inspections.<\/p>\n<p>Project Superintendent sessions take place either virtually through Zoom (since COVID-19) or at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greaterorlandoba.com\/\">Greater Orlando Builders Association (GOBA)<\/a> headquarters in Maitland. There are no prerequisites necessary to participate in the sessions. An additional benefit is the possibility of earning <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfloridalicense.com\/DBPR\/construction-industry\/\">Construction Industry Licensing Board (CILB)<\/a> continuing education units (CEUs) for license holders such as architects and engineers, contractors, inspectors, plans examiners, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The County, which has been running Project Superintendent since 2019, also offers an internal Code Compliance and Inspection Training Program to help licensed County employees earn CEUs and ensure consistency in the application of code and increase understanding of the inspections process for all other employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe code compliance is a partnership, which is why we\u2019ve worked to gain buy-in from our local construction industry,\u201d explained Allyn Bencen, multimedia coordinator, Division of Building Safety. \u201cWe\u2019re here to regulate <em>and <\/em>educate. We want to help customers succeed in passing inspections, and internally, we want to ensure the consistency in the application of code.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All sessions are designed to demonstrate what items are checked during inspections in accordance with the Florida Building Code. Sessions are organized to generally cover building inspections in the order they occur for a residential construction project and sub-trade inspections are covered at the end of the course.
