Too often in Australia, moisture and damp slabs cause major halts to projects not to mention reputational damage. This one hour of CPD learning is a must-attend for architects and specifiers to gain expertise in the causes of moisture in substrates and how to avoid them.

The interactive webinar with theory, practice, question time and a knowledge test. Every attendee receives a CPD Certificate acknowledged by state-based continued professional development programs for architects.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Understand moisture related issues
2. Explain the difference between moisture barriers and waterproofing membranes
3. Recognise why failures occur due to the errors relating to rising damp
4. Learn about moisture testing, moisture barriers and protecting the substrate
5. Identify the role of each stakeholder in the supervision of a project.

FORMAL CPD POINTS: 1

AACA UNITS OF COMPETENCY:
This presentation will deliver outcomes related to the following Competency/s from the National Standard of Competency for Architects 2015:

Design: Schematic Design

4.6 Investigation and integration of appropriate material selection for the project design.

Documentation: Detailed Design
5.5 Integration of materials and components based upon an understanding of their physical properties.

OVERVIEW
It is often underestimated how critical slab preparation and the critical role screeds play in the performance for resilient and textile floors. This one hour of CPD learning is a must-attend for architects and specifiers to gain competency in issues with uneven, rough slabs for resilient and textile floor finishes and understanding AS1884-2021.

The interactive webinar with theory, practice, question time and a knowledge test. Every attendee receives a CPD Certificate acknowledged by state-based continued professional development programs for architects.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Know how slab moisture can damage floor coverings and how this is solved
2. Identify the preparation needed for a concrete slab to provide the correct Planeness, Smoothness and soundness for textile and resilient floor finishes
3. Recognise why sand and cement screed are not deemed suitable as underlayment for floor finishes and know the alternative solutions
