Almost 40% of incidents attended by the fire and rescue services in England in 2022/23 were false alarms , with associated costs estimated at over £1 billion. In this CPD you will learn tried and tested techniques that help put an end to this pernicious problem. You will hear about the common causes and effects of false and unwanted alarms and gain deeper understanding of the strategies you can put in place to effectively manage and radically reduce them.
The Building Safety Act has redefined responsibilities across the construction industry – placing a renewed focus on collaboration, competence and accountability at every stage of design and delivery. This CPD from wienerberger explores how architects and specifiers can navigate these changes, focusing on how the Building Safety Act, BIM, and the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) work together to create a safer, more transparent built environment. Participants will gain practical insight into how digital tools and verified product data can support compliance, reduce risk, and strengthen confidence in design and specification.
The Presentation will cover: Primary functionality of vapour permeable and airtightness membranes; Building regulations and material requirements; Design considerations when using membranes in higher risk buildings; DuPont™ Tyvek® and Airguard® product solutions.
A summary of the recent transformation of the role of Building Control Bodies & what now to expect from Building Control (individuals & organisations), when commissioning, designing, or constructing Building Works. This presentation focuses on non-HRB ‘Building Works’ and explores The Building Safety Act 2022 & its amendments to the Building Act 1984, which have created a seismic change in construction legislation, the impact of which cannot be over-estimated.
The presentation will focus on non-HRB work – what these changes mean for those engaged within the built environment with an emphasis on the duty-holder regime within the Building Regulations 2010 (as amended) & its implications on proven competence.
The aim of the CPD Presentation is to inform and update Structural Engineers, Designers and Specifiers, with an overview of the most recent developments to the range of products and connectors produced by Simpson Strong-Tie, to meet changing demands of the Building Industry.
This session will explore the legislative requirements to be considered when selecting products for Higher Risk Building projects.
