Our efforts included primary research efforts, local government expertise, and benchmarking data developed from a sample of 16 cities to identify gaps and prioritized recommendations to support the City’s goals of increasing efficiencies, lowering operating costs, and incorporating best practices.

We mobilized immediately to implement enforcement mechanisms for the Louisiana State Uniform Construction Code, assist and train local building departments, builders and contractors, and homeowners.
