Several members of our Northern California team were proud to join industry peers at a sold-out Brunch N Learn hosted by BOMA Sacramento/Central Valley, where the conversation focused on construction documents and the upcoming 2026 code changes.

With new building standards taking effect across California in 2026, staying informed is essential for managing risk, maintaining compliance, and keeping projects on track.

We’re especially proud of UG2’s own Matt Montanez, Regional Engineering Manager for Northern California, who served as a featured speaker on the expert panel. His expertise, along with his leadership role as Vice-Chair of the BOMA International Building Engineers Committee, brought tremendous value to the discussion.

Thank you to the attendees, the outstanding panelists, and BOMA Sacramento for making this session such a success! 👏
