1 Hour Formal CPD
In 2024, the NSW Architects Registration Board (NSW ARB) partnered with the Architects Registration Board of Victoria (ARBV) to interrogate the 2022 research findings on systemic compliance issues and associated risks affecting regulation of the architecture profession in Australia. A series of focus groups were conducted with NSW and Victorian representatives from across the sector, including architects, industry bodies, clients, developers, builders, building surveyors, insurers, academics, government agencies and other regulatory bodies. The focus groups were structured as “deep dives” on key themes including:
- client-architect relationships and agreements
- design and construct (D & C) procurement
- compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC), and
- disruptive change.
The final report, Deep Dive into Systemic Risks in the Australian Architecture Sector, is available to download from the Resource library on the NSW ARB website here. A one page overview is here.
This webinar presents the the findings of the focus group “deep dives” and is designed to provide some guidance on the proactive steps that architects can take to mitigate their exposure to risks and liability.
