ECOB launches defensive builder program

Eco Building Products is introducing its own Defensive Builder Certification Program to help spread the knowledge of defensive construction within the industry.

Citing a swell of demand for its defensive building products that is predicated on its education and outreach efforts, Eco Building Products is targeting architects, engineers, builders, contractors and realtors in its efforts to expand its influence.

"It's our Eco architects, realtors, affiliates, contractors and builders that are going to make a radical difference in America and in our insurance industry," said president and CEO Steve Conboy. "It is by their desire, that these professionals are making it their mission to defend their clients against the effects of climate change storms."

The eight-hour course uses classroom and hands-on practical application training on topics such as mold, wood rot, termites, fire, framing and overall construction defects.
