The Building Doctor Show
We’ll help you diagnose your sick building! Buildings differ from one community to the next, but when you have new volunteers joining your Board every few years (or every few months… you know who you are) it can feel IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with maintenance, bylaws, and budgets. Ask the Building Doctor your questions and listen to the struggles of other Board members just like you. Join us on the last Tuesday of every month for The Building Doctor Show. Free and open to Boards, homeowners, and managers! Just register for the next live webinar using the link below, and submit your questions and pictures! Listen here every Wednesday, or join us LIVE at 3:30pm (Pacific time) on the last Tuesday of every month! https://learn.j2consultants.com/building-dr-show The Building Doctor Show is brought to you by J2 Building Consultants — an engineering, design, and construction management firm specializing in building envelope design, testing, performance assessment of construction-related damage, and facilitation of remediation repairs.
