Step by Step to Becoming a Licensed R-2000 Builder
1. Contact your Tribal Council or OFNTSC to inquire about the Initiative
2. Attend an R-2000 Builder workshop, complete the exam and pass with a 75% or greater
3. Obtain construction drawings and have them evaluated for recommendation by an R- 2000 Plan Evaluator to ensure they meet the R-2000 Standard
4. Construct your R-2000 demonstration home within two years of the R-2000 Builder Workshop
5. Arrange for Airtightness testing and pre-drywall inspection of your R-2000 demonstration home prior to Final Completion
6. Arrange for final inspection of demonstration home and make necessary modifications to home to ensure it meets R-2000 Standard
