• A working understanding of the features / conditions conducive to adverse dampness and weatherproofing outcomes (water damaged buildings);
• A detailed understanding of what the code says is needed;
• A detailed understanding of what this means in terms of likely performance in service;
• A working understanding of practical steps that can derive good results; and
• Knowledge of where building surveyors should be leading designers, developers and the public in relation to this aspect of building work.
The topics to be covered regarding fire include:
• What’s coming in the BCA 2016 Amendment One
• What you should know about the Senate Inquiry findings as they relate to building surveying practice
• The Building Minister’s Forum and regulatory responses to non-conforming product and combustible cladding use
• An overview of the risks involved from a building fire and life safety viewpoint
• Case studies of Australian cladding fires and an analysis of the performance of buildings involved
• The requirements related to low rise domestic / residential buildings including
o attached two storey buildings cantilevered over ground floor
o attached two storey buildings with separating walls spanning over common property or garages.
• Implications for inspection and other means of compliance verification
• Interactive discussion on evidence of suitability, systems documentation and construction verification document requirements
