Livable Housing Design: NCC Mandatory Provisions (NCC 2022) with NCC 2025 Preview Context

Description

This CPD On Demand course provides building designers and architects with a practical and detailed understanding of the mandatory Livable Housing provisions under NCC 2022. It explains how Part H8 for Class 1a dwellings and Part G7 for Class 2 sole occupancy units operate within the NCC, and clarifies the important distinction between livable housing and disability access requirements. The course examines the specific dimensional standards for access paths, circulation, door openings, bathrooms, bedrooms, and grab rail reinforcement, with a focus on where compliance commonly fails in practice. It also addresses concessions, scope boundaries, and the appropriate use of DTS and Performance Solutions, supported by applied case studies. Participants finish the session with a clear workflow for preparing compliance schedules, annotating drawings, coordinating with certifiers, and delivering compliant residential documentation.

This CPD provides general guidance on professional responsibilities and documentation practices. It does not constitute legal advice or replace project-specific contractual or statutory obligations.
