Topic 1: Waterproofing in Multi Story Construction
Overview: Structural concrete has strength, is a robust, durable, commonly designed and adopted building material. However, to survive long term, provide amenity and service to any occupied or functional structure, concrete must be designed, manufactured, and managed correctly. Concrete must also be protected or “Waterproofed”.

Presenters:
Nick Moore – National (also QLD & NSW) BDM – Nick has been involved in the plumbing industry for over 40 years. First with plumbing resellers then with various manufacturers. Nick has been a part of AHSCA (QLD) for many years, and currently sits on the committee of the HCAA as an Affiliate representative.
With over 12 years with Saniflo, Nick increasingly recognised the need for this type of solution and the need to raise awareness and education through architectural and hydraulic consultants.
He has written three CPDs for architects and for hydraulic consultants and plumbers.
With these solutions also taught within the TAFE CPC32420 Cert 111 in Plumbing, Nick has written student workbooks and teacher presentation materials to cover the relevant elective CPCPSN3026 “Install sewerage pumpsets” within that Certificate course.
Adam Rowe – BDM Vic East and ACT – Adam has been involved in the plumbing industry for over 20 years. Starting in the industry working for a plumbing reseller and gaining experience, he then moved to work for different plumbing manufacturers over several years.
After a few years out of the plumbing industry working in the HVAC and insulation industry, Adam joined Saniflo in July 2018.
Realising the different applications of the products and the need for more awareness in the market, Adam embarked on presenting to architects and hydraulic consultants on a regular basis. There are now three architect and hydraulic CPDs that Adam presents on an alternating monthly basis.
Paul Fisher – BDM Vic West, Tas, SA – Paul has been in the plumbing industry for over 20 years. With a plumbing background he then moved into the reseller industry working for a leading plumbing supplier.
This enabled him to expand his knowledge further within the industry. Paul has been part of the Saniflo SFA team since 2019 and has recognised the need for this type of solution and the need to raise awareness and education through architectural and hydraulic consultants.
Paul enjoys sharing this knowledge. He also presents to many architects, hydraulic consultants and plumbing training providers throughout Victoria, South Australia & Tasmania.
Tony Randall – BDM WA – Tony has been the Business Development Manager – Western Australia for Saniflo SFA for nearly 10 years. He has presented on behalf of Saniflo SFA for the Master Plumbers Association WA, MPA Skills & the AHSCA WA Chapter. Tony also presents the Saniflo SFA CPD programme to architects in Western Australia. Tony has also been involved with the implementation of the TAFE CPC32420 Certificate III in plumbing & the relevant elective CPCPSN3026 “Install sewerage pumpsets” in Western Australia TAFE colleges.

Topic 1: Fire Safety when using Timber Cladding
Overview:
Timber cladding is an increasingly popular choice for Australian commercial and domestic buildings due to its striking natural aesthetic, durability and low environmental impact. However the strong fire-resistant qualities of timber are often unknown or poorly understood.
This presentation clarifies combustible and non-combustible materials, the science of how timber reacts in a fire, and the building codes in relation to timber cladding and compliance.

CPD Point: This course is valued at 1 Formal CPD point.
Topic 2: Building Sustainably with Timber
Overview: If sustainably sourced, timber is undoubtedly one of the most environmentally-friendly building materials currently available, being a natural carbon sink and truly renewable. With an overwhelming global shift towards environmentally-focused sustainable designs, more and more specifiers are turning towards timber as a building material for its sustainability, aesthetic qualities, ease of transport and speed of construction.

Topic 5: NEW Circularity in the Built Environment
Overview:
Globally, construction is responsible for an estimated third of the world’s overall waste, and up to 40% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions.If we want to reduce the quantity of waste and emissions generated during the construction process, we need to take a closer look at the life cycle of the products we build with. It is becoming clearer that a transition to a circular economy is necessary to avert environmental disaster and mitigate the impact of climate change. The building and construction industry is crucial to this shift.CPD Point: This course is valued at 1 Formal CPD.
