It was a privilege to partner with the Office of the Building Commissioner and Woods Bagot to develop the Multi-Disciplinary Design Integration course. The Design and Building Practitioners Act introduces changes to the residential building industry to restore consumer confidence and deliver trustworthy buildings. This course will support the industry in adhering to understanding the Act and is an important step in the right direction in raising the standards of building across New South Wales.
Marios Chatzidoukakis
The latest legislative and regulatory framework is bringing positive change to the construction industry. Improvements can already be seen in the sector as confidence is being restored in the residential market. The courses were developed with the involvement of government and key stakeholders to promote the latest legislation, its associated responsibilities and to encourage best practice. Altogether, they offer a wealth of knowledge, helping raise the standards of construction.
