Firestop 101
Fire Rated Joints
Firestop for rated joints may seems… pretty basic…right?
Did you know it gets installed wrong way too often? If you are responsible for a project either as an architect, general contractor, project manager, plan review, building inspector, quality control or firestop special inspector or an installer, this training is designed to animate the building codes, turn the industry standards into stories and leave you with a whole new level of understand of how and why to build better.
If that sounds like what you need, check out the short video so you understand what you are about to get into or just get started by registering at red the link below.
Don’t wait to get caught doing it wrong, learn how to do it right.
The goal of this training is to help you build better and maybe have a little fun along the way. When you are done with this training, you will know more about the codes and standards and you will be able to apply the information to your work to help others build better.
Understand Standards
Fire Test standards are written into the building codes and you have to bounce back and forth between sections of codes and the standards to figure out what everything means. We are going to help you connect the dots between the codes and the standards in this training and eliminate the bouncing back and forth.
Connect the Dots
Lots of training programs will explain the building codes & standards, but when you are done you are left with that question of, “Now what?” How do you apply this new information to your day to day work? In this training we will walk you through step by step how to design a plan to help your whole team build better. If you need help with your plan, you are in the right place.
Reading building codes and fire test standards is dry and boring. We bring them to life and help you see how to apply them to what you do in the field. If that sounds like what you need, please join us. Just click the red registration link below and get started.

I donโt have the time
On your projects, is there a conversation between the structural engineer (who identifies the movement in a building) the framer (who determines the size of the fire rated joints) and the firestop contractor (who submits on the firestop joints)?
Do you know the difference between a fire barrier and a smoke barrier?
Itโs not my responsibility.
