Alabama Insurance

 Recently, the Association of Home Builders, Alabama and the Cullman County Home Builders Association have been defamed in an opinion that the documents that appeared in The Cullman Times. The motivations of the author seems to be a little more than an attempt to muddy water to confuse the facts and on national legislation, the establishment of a code of building Alabama.

If this bill, a national building code? Yes. This fact is indisputable. Despite this, to say that the Home Builders are those behind the bill is far from reality. This bill has jumped in a report, building regulations in Alabama, the committee of inquiry has been adopted by the legislature on the heels of Hurricane Katrina. The Act implements the recommendations of this Commission. The Commission, under the chairmanship of the State Fire Marshal, including the League of Municipalities, County Commissioners, the code of civil servants Association of Alabama, the insurance industry, architects, engineers, and commercial contracts partnership. Each group supports the bill. In fact, the Home Builders are the only ones who present law is unfair and misleading.

I ask the real motivation behind the author’s comments. What would happen gained a distortion of the truth? Recently, a group of heads of fire, the concern that they are not in the legislation. The promoter added to the bill of commissions, by legislation. The promoter also a list of public bodies, to adopt codes, the board as advisory members. No group has expressed dissatisfaction at this stage, with the exception of heads of fire. Then, after lengthy discussions, they expressed their true objective mandatory sprinkler residence. They use arguments to the house fire and security, but no reports that show correlations were fires between home and new home construction. It was earlier houses, apartments is not new, that the greatest risk to firefighters.

Sprinklers are available as an option. I was never a simple question that I homebuyer sprinkler installed in their home. If the public is not to ask who? These are not cities or counties, and for fire bosses. Not a town in Alabama requires sprinklers in single-family homes. If there is no community, they must Ala., and the public is not, she asked where this desire for housing Sprinkler? It seems clear that those who benefit financially from this mandate.

This is just a little more than an attempt to fire sprinklers domestic producers more products to sell. It is possible that the author is used as a tool to convince people that they should demonstrate a product that is so dear and unacceptable that very few of those who contend that they have in their own homes. It is obvious that these major groups will dissuade a new market for its products, even if this means a distortion of the truth in order to hide their true intentions.

The reality is that this law provides for a single standard for all construction in Alabama, and has broad support from all sides. I would encourage the author to read and understand before condemning the bill. This law led to a strengthening of the code of building on the basis of national standards. Only the uninformed may be argued that this is not.

All owners, which I attach, locally and nationally became interested in its customers the safest, highest quality homes, they can afford. All construction requirements for business, and seek a quality product. Our reputation depends.

To conclude that the law will mean that “light building” does not make sense. Think about it: if your dinner burning in the stove, and turn off your sprinkler system, you have more damage caused by smoke or the water of the broadcast? They can bear additional costs and watering your zones. Apart from water damage on your new home. It might be fixed on the smoke and heat detection devices, which is the default home with your new remind you that you have a fire. It could only fire with a fire extinguisher at a cost of $ 35 rather than $ 18000 worth of water to combat the damage of your insurance.
