Session 1: What To Ask Before You Build – Advice From Green Building Pro’s
Wednesday, February 16, 6:00 PM 8:00 PM
In the wake of the Marshall Fire there are hundreds of families in Boulder County in need of practical, useful advice as they take their initial steps toward the rebuilding process. This event will be the first of a year-long series of conversations and trainings intended to grow the connection between high performance building professionals and those in the public looking for answers while also widening the circle of professional knowledge in the building community.
This event will be a structured panel discussion with ample Q+A time available. The panel is made up of local building professionals, many of whom have personal experience with either the Marshall Fire or previous wildfire incidents.
The conversation will focus on essential design elements of residential construction that will make the most impact to the performance of future homes without breaking the bank. By the end, the audience will know what top ten things professionals think you should be thinking about before you build.
Boulder Valley Build Expo
Friday, February 25 & Saturday, February 26
An informational gathering to connect those who lost their homes in the Marshall Fire with builders who are able to help rebuild.
The Expo will include local builders and architects who can provide information and answer questions about working with you on a rebuild. They will share about their capabilities to build, timelines, and any available plans or models. Additionally, officials from both Louisville and Superior as well as Boulder County will be present to answer questions for builders and for you. We hope that these resources will make it a little easier for you to get the information you need to understand the possibilities as you make decisions about rebuilding.
These will be 2.5 hour sessions, you may not need that whole time, but you are welcome to stay as long as you’d like to get the information you need.
