Project Remediate – Pattern Book Update
Join Hansen Yuncken and the Office of Project Remediate on Thursday 4 May for a CPD online event on the Project Remediate Pattern Book one year on. The in-person presentation and networking event has sold out, but there are still online tickets available (2 formal CPD points).
The Pattern Book, developed for Project Remediate, provides guidance as to recommended design solutions for the removal and replacement of combustible cladding from Class 2 buildings. The intention of the document is to outline industry best practice, which can be referred to across all projects in NSW.
Following the update briefing, attendees of the in-person session will have the opportunity to meet with Project Remediate program specialists, and key industry stakeholders including ACOR, and the NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler OAM, for informal networking drinks and canapes from 5pm to 6.30pm.
This hybrid event will be hosted at the recently completed Meadowbank TAFE Multi Trades & Digital Technology Hub and streamed live on Microsoft Teams.
