Two-day Workshop Training
TRI has trained dozens of demolition, building and remodeling contractors throughout the country to become TRP-certified deconstruction contractors. Now, homeowners, designers, public officials, architects and contractors can receive a modified two-day version of this training, earning a certificate of completion. If you are a contractor interested in diversifying, a homeowner wanting to remodel, a used building-materials retailer looking for more and better materials, or simply an interested professional or preservationist, this course is for you.
