TBA Members... Please volunteer to work one Saturday morning in 2015 on a Builders Care project by emailing Vicki at[email protected].
Joining Vicki at the organizational meeting were TBA President Alan Weekley, TBA Past President Mark Worley, TBA Senior Officer Bill Kimberl, longtime TBA Board member H.R. "Sonny" Phillips, and Scott Eppes of the Eppes Decorating Center.
If you missed attending TBA's recent Florida Construction Lien Lawseminar, you'll be glad to know that this important information - presented by Tallahassee attorneys Fred Dudley and Steve Sellers
- is available by clicking here...Affiliated with the Dudley, Sellers & Healy, P.L. law firm, Dudley and Sellers covered a number of vital topics including what it means to be in privity with the owner, the importance of timely notices to owners, how liens get defeated in court, and good record-keeping practices. The posted information includes a helpful chart outlining various lien rights of contractors, suppliers and subcontractors.
Mark your calendar for Thursday, March 12, 2015 when TBA's Green Building Council meeting will be sponsored by Donny's Heating and Airwith Donny Godwin presenting the program on Mechanical Ventilation and Maintaining Positive Indoor Air Quality. The event is a luncheon beginning at 11:30 am at the Myers Park Community Room. It's free to Green Building Council members and $20 for non-Council members. Controlled Mechanical Ventilation will be required on all new construction as a result of the blower door mandate in the upcoming code change. There is much confusion about these two requirements. You can register for the event in advance athttp://tallyba.com/tba-events.
