<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>It appears the state has screwed division 1 contractors by not allowing us to continue to do work that we previously did and even some divison 2 contractors in regards to home inspections.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Who is going to know more about a commercial building or a house, a guy like myself that can and does build and remodel them, or a home inspector that looks at a structure after the fact?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Who is going to know more about an A/C system than a Certified A/C contractor like myself, or a home inspector?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Who is going to know more about plumbing systems a guy like myself who passed the Plumbing contractors exam or a home inspector?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can tell you of the 3 certified exams that I have taken and passed on the 1st try, Plumbing was by far the hardest and there is no way a Home inspector who has only had a couple of classes and 120 inspections is going to know more than I do, but they can do inspections where I can't.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have done several inspections for insurance companies, as far as I know they require division 1 contractors to sign off on them, not home inspectors.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We can pull permits and do repairs but a home inspector can only do inspections, when there is a difference of opinion in the report and I have seen may home inspection reports where the inspector had no clue what he was talking about, who will be deemed the one who has more knowledge, the guy with the least experience (the home inspector) or the guy who can and does actually build for a living (The Certified Contractor)?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Mold is a small portion of my business, but I have to compete against carpet companies for this type of work, they get to the scened due to their ability to do water extraction, then the next thing you know they are doing work that a Division 1 contractor is supposed to do.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't like unlicensed contractors and I think it is a good idea for inspectors and mold remediators to be licensed, but the state needs to keep their hand out of my pocket and quit screwing us licensed contractors.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another thing I noticed is the ACAC tests are 100-120 questions are $400, yet my Certified Building Contractors Exam, Certified Air conditioning Exam and Certified Plumbing Contractors Exam was not as expensive and they were more thorough, who is getting greased from the ACAC?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How many different ACAC certifications do we need?</DIV>

Professional<BR><BR><BR>Hello All,<BR><BR>A design professional called me this morning. He mentioned that he prepared a set of plans wherein he indicated that a new SFR would comply with the FBCB, FBCM, FBCP, and NEC...rather than FBCR. A plan review comment was issued that told the DP to change the plans to indicate FBCR as the applicable code. Question: Does the DP have the right to design a SFR under the FBCB, and the other codes mentioned herein, provided that plans show compliance with such codes? DP said that he is butting heads with plans examiner on this issue...so he would like a little feedback from the DG. Any and all replies on this topic will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.<BR><BR>Rob Harrell<BR><BR>(Interestingly, the DP also said that plans examiner is requesting a statement on the construction drawings that proposed house is Type VB construction. No specific code section from FBCR was cited.)

You will be<BR>surprised as I to discover the "sweetheart" deal the state conveyed
at<BR>our expense. (see bottom for additional contact information)<BR><BR><BR><BR>++++<BR><BR>To all involved Florida agents and employees:<BR><BR><BR><BR>We have just received a copy of the Agreement between the Department of<BR>Professional Regulation and the American Council of Accredited<BR>Certification (ACAC). We would like to know where and how this contract<BR>was competitively bid pursuant to:<BR><BR><BR><BR>455.217 Examinations.--This section shall be read in conjunction with<BR>the appropriate practice act associated with each regulated profession<BR>under this chapter. <BR><BR>(d) A board, or the department when there is no board, may approve by<BR>rule the use of any national examination which the department has<BR>certified as meeting requirements of national examinations and generally<BR>accepted testing standards pursuant to department rules. Providers of<BR>examinations, which may be either profit or nonprofit entities,
seeking<BR>certification by the department shall pay the actual costs incurred by<BR>the department in making a determination regarding the certification.<BR>The department shall use any national examination which is available,<BR>certified by the department, and approved by the board. The name and<BR>number of a candidate may be provided to a national contractor for the<BR>limited purpose of preparing the grade tape and information to be<BR>returned to the board or department or, to the extent otherwise<BR>specified by rule, the candidate may apply directly to the vendor of the<BR>national examination. The department may delegate to the board the duty<BR>to provide and administer the examination. Any national examination<BR>approved by a board, or the department when there is no board, prior to<BR>October 1, 1997, is deemed certified under this paragraph. Any licensing<BR>or certification examination that is not developed or administered by<BR>the
department in-house or provided as a national examination shall be<BR>competitively bid.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Additionally, preliminary inquiries reveal that information provided by<BR>the contract recipient, ACAC, may be un-true or mis-directed. Their<BR>website(s) indicate they follow an ASTM standard for certification that<BR>may not exist. Preliminary inquiries to the ASTM indicate that they have<BR>never heard of this council and do not endorse it. Furthermore, that the<BR>dates of stated existence conflict with other dates of incorporation<BR>and the scientific entity proffered as "overseeing" the council's<BR>accreditation (council of engineering & scientific specialty boards) is<BR>associated with a disbarred attorney and does not appear to be a<BR>legitimate scientific entity. Much more is being uncovered as the<BR>investigation by others continue.<BR><BR><BR><BR>I warned the Department that they were being "duped" by this council -<BR>its
genesis was by associations for associations - that it did not have<BR>the credibility and experience it contended. My opinion hasn't changed.<BR>The fact is there are no Federal Standards or Regulations for Mold like<BR>there are for Lead, Asbestos, etc... Therefore who is to say whether<BR>this "council's" certifications are correct? Where is the baseline of<BR>Federal training standards we measure them with? There are none, and<BR>they know it. So, they use the "council of engineering & scientific<BR>specialty boards" as a standard?<BR><BR><BR><BR>The State Contract requires $100.00 application fee per student to the<BR>ACAC as their exclusive vendor. The Association of Construction Industry<BR>Certified Contractors offered to perform the testing free of charge and<BR>provided all information to the department with the offer to adjust any<BR>requirement to meet any concern the state had. No response. Other<BR>testing and certification agencies
have been training and certifying<BR>assessors and remediators and are the industry standard for quality and<BR>professionalism, (such as South Eastern Mold Institute, Inc) - they are<BR>all out.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Please provide us with the bidding notice and bid tabulation for the<BR>ACAC contract or notify us why such was not required.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Thank you, <BR><BR><BR><BR>R.J.Koning - Director<BR><BR>Contractors Institute<BR><BR><A href="http://us.mc453.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=rjkoning@contractorsinstitute.com" ymailto="mailto:rjkoning@contractorsinstitute.com">rjkoning@contractorsinstitute.com</A><BR><mailto:<A href="http://us.mc453.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=rjkoning@contractorsinstitute.com" ymailto="mailto:rjkoning@contractorsinstitute.com">rjkoning@contractorsinstitute.com</A>> <BR><BR>8301 Joliet Street<BR><BR>Hudson, Fl 34667<BR><BR>727-863-5147<BR><BR><BR><BR>+++++++++<BR><BR><BR><BR>I would suggest anyone who is interested
