The Building Safety Act was a direct response to past failures in the construction industry. This in-person CPD event is designed to equip architects with the knowledge and actionable solutions needed to design and deliver safer, more resilient timber projects.
This session will provide clarity on key legislation and innovative strategies to protect your projects from the most common and devastating threats: fire and water damage.
