Carpentry Handbook
Buying, Developing and Selling Real Estate, Houses Or Other Student-Constructed Structures
The handbook outlines the basic legal and practical issues regarding real estate and MnSCU carpentry program procedures, including forms, contracts and checklists. The handbook is designed to give basic guidance, but it does not provide an exhaustive list of the legal and practical issues that can arise in a carpentry project. The handbook will be updated annually to reflect law changes and to incorporate best practices from other carpentry programs.
