Rapid technological advances and increasing legislative restrictions mean that the materials of construction will evolve from one decade to the next. Our next webinar examines fundamental principles consultants can apply to evaluate new products as well as existing ones. Harry Nicholas, Principal at Hayball, will consider practical questions like the role of specialist consultants and samples and material boards, as well as the pressures of state government local content policies. Wendy Poulton, Principal at informed Lawyers Pty Ltd (ACN 635 862 145) will recap the broad legislative framework that governs material selection (including a brief note on the DBP Act), highlight the impact of contract terms and scope, and share ideas for procedures to ease the pressures of product substitution and value management.

CPD: 1 formal hour
