Avoiding Extreme Makeovers: Risk Management for Older Buildings
Wednesday, October 28, 2015 / 2-3 p.m. ET / Continuing Education Credit Available
Some building structures can last indefinitely, but other parts will wear out over time. While it’s usually more economical to replace major components than to demolish and rebuild entire buildings, in condominiums, there are often no well-defined procedures and few precedents for extreme makeovers. This webinar will help aging associations develop practical plans for maintaining buildings while they continue to be occupied.
