Masterclass on NCC and AS3740:2021 for Wet Areas

Waterproofing mistakes are among the most common—and costly—construction defects in Australia. Leaks don’t just damage finishes, they compromise structural integrity, create safety risks and expose builders to compliance failures. Our CPD module Construction Waterproofing 101: Avoiding Common Mistakes gives you the tools to prevent these issues before they start. From identifying high-risk areas and selecting the right system, to understanding NCC requirements and preparing audit-ready documentation, this course combines practical know-how with real-world case studies and checklists. • Fully online and self-paced—learn anytime • Practical guidance with immediate site application • Instant certificate with 1 formal CPD point Secure your builds, avoid costly callbacks and boost compliance confidence.

Are you being short-changed by shortcuts? The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced the “Golden Thread” — a requirement for accurate, accessible, and up-to-date information throughout a building’s lifecycle. It’s not just a box-ticking exercise. It’s about accountability, transparency, and trust. That’s where CCPI (Code for Construction Product Information) steps in — ensuring product data is clear, verifiable, and not misleading. If you’re working with dry lining systems, your supplier should be meeting this standard. Are they? #BuildingSafetyAct #GoldenThread #CCPI #trustmetsec

Scaffold compliance shouldn’t be a guessing game. Builders and subcontractors often play cat and mouse over what’s “safe enough”, but when the outcome is either compliance or catastrophe, there’s no grey area. That’s why we built a scaffold compliance checker. One tool. One search bar. Instant answers. Because compliance shouldn’t come down to opinion. Follow for more construction insights ✅

Thanks to the folks at Webcor for hosting us! The CFI (Center for Innovation) event restored my faith in the industry as a whole: it turns out people really do care about safe construction practices. Barry Nelson of FactorLab, Inc., Gabe Guetta of SALUS, and Douglas J. Rubingh of HammerTech gave us some insights: 1. Safety is cultural Mistakes appear in the nuanced spaces between worker engagement and planning conversations. 2. Stilted information sessions don't work When people are forced to memorize a list of practices, they zone out. Give people the tools to look for information when they need (and want) it. 3. Data can prevent injuries You can target specific issues-- only once you identify what your organization's issues are. Aggregate data, conversations, safety incidents, etc. PS: you can do this all out of the box with Fresco (YC F24)

This short teaser introduces key concepts and design considerations for sprinkler obstruction compliance. 📌 Topics Covered in the Full Video: ✅ Introduction – Obstruction Rules ✅ Three Times Rule – Standard Spray Sprinklers ✅ 1st Exception – Maximum Clear Distance ✅ 2nd Exception – Sprinkler on Opposite Side ✅ 3rd Exception – Non-Structural Elements in Light & Ordinary Hazards ✅ 4th Exception – Sprinkler Piping Less Than 3 in. ✅ Four Times Rule – Extended Coverage & Residential Sprinklers ✅ NSVCad Tools and the Three/Four Times Rules 🎥 Watch the full breakdown on the NSVCad YouTube Channel or visit www.NSVsoft.net Link to the Full Video on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dipH_tgT      #NFPA13 #ThreeTimesRule #FourTimesRule #NSVCad #ObstructionRules #FireSprinkler #FireProtection #HesamTavoosi

Excellent explanation and simulation related to sprinkler points allocation referring to NFPA 13. This kind of explanation really helps Fire Engineers to understand better on sprinkler design. #sprinklersystem #fireprotection #mechanical #engineering #design

At the recent SFS and SFPE Joint International Conference on Holistic Design, one message stood out: Fire engineering needs to be part of the conversation from the very beginning. But how do we make that happen? In a world where cash is king, it’s really about value. We need to show those in hot seats the benefits of engaging fire safety professionals early. But first, here’s what I’ve learned about compliant design and its impact on value: ✅ It’s not always cheaper ✅ It’s not always better ✅ It’s not always legally safe (inc. from other legislation) To me, the real value of early engagement with a fire engineer is: 🤝 Building strong relationships 💡 Getting quick, informed advice 🛠️ Resolving issues before they become showstoppers 📈 Progressing design with confidence And even if a Performance Solution isn’t required, that's ok. Fire engineering isn’t just about fixing problems; it’s about creating better solutions, better designs, and better outcomes.
