Our Education Efforts
One of the association's primary goals is to provide the best builder education
around. BAM takes all the knowledge from its research and combines
it with curriculum on codes, legislative changes and best practices
suggestions from proven industry experts to create a well-rounded
and useful set of courses that improve building practices and business
operations for our attendees. Each year, our education committee
and key staff identify what is most crucial for builders to learn
and then test the seminars with select builders, remodelers, code
officials and building scientists to ensure that we provide quality,
useful information. Be assured that there is something for you in
our education whether you're just starting out or are a seasoned
veteran.
Education Opportunities
Builders Symposium
Through our annual Builders Symposium, we bring expert speakers on current
topics impacting the home building industry. This is the one
time a year you will be able to hear from multiple experts on
the issues that are at the forefront of the industry.
Codes and Rules Instruction
When codes are changed, we coordinate with state officials to ensure
that builders have the opportunity to learn the code. Our code
classes cover major changes between previous and entering codes,
and often include reference materials to help ease the transition.
Business Necessities
Other courses we have offered cover business issues such as insurance
and legal protections. Each year's series of courses is specifically
geared to educate you in the areas of construction that have
been most affected by change.
