Building Safety Month Kickoff

May is Building, Electrical, and Deck Safety Month, and the Wake Forest Inspections Department is launching the observance with a “Building, Electrical & Deck Safety Month Kick-Off” Saturday, April 29, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. at Town & Country Hardware, 910 Gateway Commons Circle.

Free and open to the public, the event will include free hot dogs - while they last. Inspections staff will also be on hand throughout the occasion to answer questions about building, electrical, and deck safety, along with the building permit process.

Area residents are invited to come out and learn about the services the department offers, including Online Plan Review. Attendees can also talk one-on-one with Town inspectors about building safety, codes, and inspections as they pertain to common residential projects, such as decks, kitchen and bath remodels, and screened porches.

The Inspections Department will also help raise awareness of building, electrical and deck safety by manning a booth during Meet in the Street on Saturday, May 6.
