A Message from the Director
The summer heat is passing and the arrival of our winter visitors typically means more work for residential contractors. Usually, summer vacations and school breaks cause a slow down at the Registrar’s Office, but this certainly wasn’t the case this year. As you are reading in this publication, the agency has been busy planning its move to a new location around the first of the year. While our current location at 800 West Washington has served us well for twenty (20) years, growth in the Industrial Commission has forced us to re-locate to new offices located at 3838 N. Central Avenue in Phoenix.
Coordinating our move is an arduous task, but ROC personnel have stepped up to the plate to make sure every detail is covered without disruption to customer services. Plans
are proceeding as expected and inside this newsletter you will find specific details on our new offices.
On a separate note, the ROC has been working with many industry representatives on updating the agency’s workmanship standards for Arizona’s construction industry. These representatives have provided the ROC with excellent information and have been working diligently with ROC staff to complete this process. Although updating our standards takes time, it does provide the ROC with the opportunity to update standards to conform with current industry practices.
The 2008 legislative session is fast approaching and as expected this session brings its own set of challenges. The ROC will once again look to industry, labor and our citizens to provide us with insight and support on our proposed legislative changes. By working together, I believe we will achieve results that are good for Arizona and the contracting industry.
Finally, in our “Contractor’s Corner”, you’ll read about the legal requirements of preventative termite treatments in Arizona.
Special thanks to Arizona Structural Pest Control Commission for sharing their knowledge and insight.
