REGULATIONS
Complying with the multitude of regulations requires a current understanding of the local laws to be properly registered and insured. Our scope of services includes:
Investigating buildings: Removing and resetting components to understand how a building is built and to assess the underlying condition
Directing Contractors: Investigations and construction management involve "directing and supervising" construction
Preparing or Obtaining Estimates: Assembling scopes of repair or cost estimates involves estimate preparation and bid soliciting
Compliance Inspections: Supervising the installations to verify plan compliance, may include the direction to "tear it off and start over" - this is directing construction. Also, in WA RCW 64.55 requires that an architect prepare the remediation drawings and oversee their installation.
For these reasons and more, the states require a Contractor's License and the associated insurance and bonding - J2 is a licensed and bonded contractor.
Design, plan production, and "stamping" of permit sets in the firms' name requires the firm to be a licensed architectural or engineering firm - J2 is a both an engineering and architectural firm.
Please ask, or go online, to verify our registration, state business licenses, and those of our competitors.
