Brand New CPD Seminar!

Our brand new CPD, Considered Fa?ade Solutions for Complex Applications, provides expert insight into the design of bespoke fa?ade support and restraint focusing on slab edge complexity. Increasing changes to regulations have resulted in the slab edge zone becoming extremely congested as we see fire barriers, for example, being incorporated. This makes for a more complex design, and we must consider how all components required in the slab edge area can work in conjunction with each other.

Sara Dawes delivered this new CPD online during November, which was very well attended received great feedback. If you missed it, please get in touch.
