Bidding Partner Required on $2 million Health Center

I just purchased the plans for the Cecil County Health Center in Conawingo, MD. The total project cost will come in around $2 million, however at this time, I do not have the bonding capacity for this job.

The Green Building Code is Too Confusing

Green Building Law Update

I have spent just over a year thinking about the International Green Construction Code (IgCC). I know it has been one year because I received my first copy of the code at Greenbuild 2010. My conclusion today about the code is no different than it was one year ago: The IgCC is unnecessarily confusing. Take, for instance, the IgCC's basic setup -- it's two codes in one.
