Builders shouldn't be afraid to ask the building inspector for their opinion on things or their question on it.

And I know every building inspector is a little bit different stuff, but when I am out, when I'm out at a house, I like to help the building.

Welcome to the Fine Home Building Pro Talk podcast, a regular discussion with building industry professionals.

This is Senior Editor Patrick Combe. I'm joined by Peter Kulchuk and producer Jeff Rose.

Peter has three decades of experience in the residential construction and building code industry.

First is a residential builder, then an author, educator, city building inspector, and city plans examiner.

He's written six books on building codes and energy codes published by the International Code Council.

And he's taught classes for both residential builders and building inspectors in 10 states, including his home state of Minnesota.

You can find the Fine Home Building Pro Talk podcast and the original Fine Home Building podcast at findhomebuilding.com slash podcast.

You can also leave feedback and ask questions

there too. Peter, thank you very much for being on the show. How are you? Doing okay.

Yes.

Can you please tell us what you do for a living?

And how did you get into it?

I actually, I'm currently working for a municipality.

I'm doing rehabilitation of existing single family vacant homes.

And I'm working as a construction project manager.
