					<description><![CDATA[&#160; The proper use of professional seals in North Carolina is critical.  Failure to follow the prescribed requirements can subject you or your Firm to a Board sanction. Did you know that the NC Board of Architecture and the NC Engineering Board have jointly prepared a fairly straightforward document that can tell you exactly what [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As regular readers of this Blog know, contracts are extremely important for all parties involved in a construction project.  While verbal contracts can be enforced, a written contract, which is finely-tuned to your specific project, can save you a lot of time and money later on if the proverbial poo hits the fan.
