heard about some of this that was happening with the building <br /> codes especially in the research that we were doing ourselves. Part <br /> of what we learned was how the County had adopted the <br /> international building codes four years ago...but in a blanket in <br /> total without any customization...without any amendments and I <br /> see similar things happen back home where we want to crack down <br /> on the folks who want to put up systems without doing the <br /> security...and they just maybe thru...maybe not necessarily thru <br /> what their motives are...but essentially they blankly throw down a <br /> thousand security control...a thousand building codes and here you <br /> go you guys have to do all this stuff and everything needs to be <br /> resistant to Category 7 hurricane. I always preach to the <br /> government the same thing...if you gold plate everything...you're <br /> not doing it right...you need to silver and bronze and gold plate <br /> everything in the right places to get it right. On the other <br /> hand...you can't just go and say I can afford this compliance so <br /> I'm just gonna do this way or I can get away with it so I'm gonna <br /> do it this way...so there's a middle ground and I'm kind of taking <br /> a centrist view here where you know in all of these things where <br /> we're talking about the building codes themselves or the <br /> enforcement of the building codes...Yes we can't just go wee willy <br /> nilly and build anything we want and sneak it past and hope we <br /> don't have a visit inspection. We also can't just blankly leverage <br /> everything and then what it comes down to is those enforcement <br /> bits of how these things are enforced and what codes are referred <br /> to in an inspection or an audit whatever it may be. That becomes <br /> very...that becomes very important and precise...it becomes a <br /> perception that's out there and I always learned in my travels in <br /> twenty-five years in IT that perception is everything and if there's <br /> a perception out there that this building stuff isn't for the little guy <br /> and you need to be billionaire or a contractor...you know the <br /> contractor and if you're just a little guy trying to homestead or <br /> build a farm or build a business and you just can't do that because <br /> you can't fight city hall if the perception gets out there...and it <br /> becomes a thing...you know the reason why I'm able to shout back <br /> at the generals about security compliance is because I know all the <br /> dirty tricks because earlier in my career I did them all and I learned <br /> how to get a system passed the auditors...you go to this one and <br /> this one and you do this and this and you wait. Now I'm hired to <br /> beat those tricks and to learn how to stream line the system and <br /> that's what we aim for is a middle ground...and especially when it <br /> comes to this enforcement...some of that may be a result of the <br /> building codes being adopted so broadly and then enforcement <br /> becomes selective. All of a sudden there's an <br /> architect...engineer...civil engineer who can pull out line items <br /> from this large library of requirements and say you're supposed to <br /> 3 <br />
