Participants leave with a ready-to-use walkthrough tool, red-flag indicators, and examples that convert guidance into day-to-day evidence schools can document for review. Expect quick case builds, a mini 鈥減ermit review鈥 exercise, and a closing inspection that certifies your next steps are code-compliant鈥攂efore auditors ever knock. Bring your questions; leave with a blueprint.
