About this event
There are technical changes coming for our industry – and that means it's important to stay ahead of the game.
Register now for our Gold Coast North Industry Info Session on Thursday, 27 August where our technical experts will dive into what's new and how the changes will affect your business, projects and clients.
We'll cover:
Queensland Housing Code Update: key changes and the practical implications for residential builders.
NCC 2025 Overview: a high-level overview of the key changes introduced in NCC 2025, what they mean for the building industry, and how the 12-month transition period provides time to understand and prepare for the new requirements.
Key Industry Issues: an overview of the common issues our members are currently facing and practical strategies to help manage and avoid them moving forward.
Condensation Management: why builders should start thinking differently about condensation, the risks it can pose to building performance and durability, and the importance of considering moisture management in modern construction practices.
David Jordan, Founder and Managing Director at Neurock, will break down the science into practical steps on how to manage condensation effectively in today's buildings.
Master Builders Manager: Building and Planning Services, Karen Haworth , will also explore the key ways you can minimise risk and safeguard your business, including:
Building with signed contracts: understanding the importance of this first step and the risks of commencing work before you and your clients have signed on the dotted line.
Home Warranty Insurance requirements: why obtaining insurance before commencing work is a must.
Subcontractor agreements: the documents you should be using to reduce the risk of contractual and liability issues.
Avoiding disputes: How calling Master Builders early when problems arise can help avoid issues being escalated to the QBCC or the courts.
