Posted as received from the
Associated General Contractors of
Washington
AGC Construction Contractors Board
Task Force Proposal
AGC, in the wake of a series of
articles on construction defects, the
establishment of the Construction Claims
Task Force by the legislature, and the
loss of legislation dealing with
construction liability in the 2005
Legislature, appointed a task force to
examine the issues with construction
defects, to survey the political
landscape and see what was coming out of
the task force, and look at ways to
prepare for the 2007 session. The task
force focused on separating commercial
and residential construction licenses at
the Construction Contractors Board as
the best way to address the issues that
are specific to commercial construction
contractors. The task force recognizes
that the issues facing residential
contractors are different, particularly
given that they work directly with
consumers, whereas commercial
contractors are in a
business-to-business environment. AGC
is seeking to raise the standard of
practice in the commercial construction
industry, while creating clear lines
between commercial and residential
construction and the regulations that
apply to the two sectors.
