Chapter 17 Requests AWCI Third Party Inspection for EIFS
Congratulations and welcome, the Association of Walls and Ceilings Industries International have granted us chapter status for the Carolinas
This is an exciting opportunity to bring the education, expertise and resources of AWCI to the Carolinas. The need to strengthen our market has been growing since the 90’s, highlighted with the EIFS fiasco of ’96. Born of this need is the plan to facilitate education and open dialogue for the natural members of our profession as well as architects, engineers, inspectors and municipalities. Thus, we will stabilize our market, add value, productivity, safety and quality of product.
To achieve this we will educate by sponsoring speakers and presenters from across the industry and across the country to share their knowledge with us. The programs will start off slow for 2005, one session per quarter in Raleigh, Charlotte and Columbia. The frequency and location of sessions will increase with demand.
The resources to be realized are;
AWCI Insurance for general liability
AWCI research publications on mold and litigation
AWCI scaffold brake -AWCI cold formed steel frame training program
AWCI EIFS training and certification
AWCI manuals and standards for Fire-Resistive materials
AWCI changes to ASTM C840
AWCI industry jobs descriptions for field and office
AWCI bookstore of resource material
AWCI safety and safety training program
AWCI lobbying to reduce height and areas tables for sprinkled buildings
AWCI EIFS Smart program
AWCI technical service department for those tough questions
Our industry’s own national magazine and much more.
Many members from the Carolinas lead the efforts to bring us this opportunity and now everything is new and happening in real time. Hopefully you will have the desire and availability to participate with education, ideas, dialogue and to lead the association into the future. We build everything else in the Carolinas, let’s build our industry a new future! You can make it happen!
