Certified Erosion & Sediment Control Lead (CESCL)
The state’s Construction Stormwater General Permit from Ecology requires all sites disturbing over an acre of land have a CESCL trained to inspect, install, and manage stormwater controls on your site. Most companies will need more than one employee trained as a CESCL. Certification is good for three years.
Construction Contracts & Lien Law
The contracts portion will teach you the terms you need to address in your contract in order to minimize the occurrence and magnitude of problems that inevitably arise with customers or other contractors. The lien portion will teach you how to prepare, record and foreclose a lien on either a commercial or residential project.
BIAW Certified Builder Program
Doing the right thing matters to you. You emulate values that have proven themselves over and over throughout your career. You care about being an expert. And you want your customers to know that by hiring you they will get the best.
The BIAW Certified Builder designation is like no other, one that will propel your business to a new level of recognition and reward. A Certified Builder is proven, accountable, and vetted by one of the largest home building associations in the country. It’s an achievement that asks more of you because you ask more of yourself.
