This CPD will feature: who we are; Building regulations; Design responsibilities; Behaviour of fire; Testing; Compartmentation; External wall fire protection products.

This Keyfix CPD helps architects and specifiers solve the non-combustible challenge. The CPD provides key insights into specifying Document B compliant non-combustible cavity tray solutions which meet the needs of regulators, insurers, developers and installers in buildings over 18m+.

This session will look at the use of non-combustible materials beyond the facade, highlighting key areas where non-combustible insulation can be easily incorporated.

Masonry wall methods of building haven’t changed in decades but are expected to fit into the new Future Building requirements of providing insulation as well as being able to resist rain penetration. Modern ways of building an external wall by using Monolithic Construction Methods not only provide the required insulation standards but don’t require cavities, additional insulation and are easier to build.

This presentation explores the development of robust waterproofing strategies and solutions in compliance with BS8102:2022. It covers an overview of essential industry documents and guidance, the roles and responsibilities of the design team and waterproofing specialist, and provides insights into the project flow chart, client requirements, risk assessment, water table classification, and potential consequences of failure. Attendees will also gain knowledge of basement protection grades, protection types, and the critical importance of detailing and workmanship to ensure effective waterproofing.
