A 240 square metre lot that can now take 65 per cent site cover. A granny flat that grew to 58 square metres during documentation. A project that started under the 2010 rules and lodges after the council adopted the new code. For the next three years the first question on any Queensland lot is which rule set is in force there today.
This one hour CPD course is for Queensland building designers. It covers how the Queensland Housing Code binds council by council, the site cover, setback and height standards on either side of the 450 square metre split, secondary dwellings with their parking and open space, the standards a council may vary, and the Modern Homes Standards easings.
A home energy rating is not a retrofit plan. Turning one into the other is where the value sits.

Whole-of-Home assumptions do not fail loudly. They surface as rework, weeks after the decision was made.

Condensation does not announce itself. It shows up years later as mould, corrosion and a defect claim.

The builder emails on a Friday. The specified membrane is on back order, here is an alternative, it is equal or better, can you approve it today? You say yes, the job keeps moving, and the responsibility for that product has just moved to you.

The call comes about eighteen months after handover. The house was supposed to be seven and a half stars, the living room is freezing every evening, and the instinct is to defend the number. That answers a complaint about how a room feels with a document about a model, and the client hears it as a refusal to look.
This one hour CPD course is for building designers, residential drafters, practice principals, renovation and extension designers and building consultants. Four short modules, two case studies and a ten question quiz, with your certificate saved to your dashboard.
The tender comes back over budget. The client wants savings by Friday, the builder has a list of cuts, and nobody has asked who pays for the redesign. Most of us reach for the drawings first, and that is often the wrong place to start.
This one hour over budget tender CPD course is for registered architects, practice principals, project architects, contract administrators and residential designers. Four short modules, two case studies and a ten question quiz, with your certificate saved to your dashboard.
Most development application delays are not caused by the assessor. They are caused by what was in the submission.

Balcony waterproofing has moved out of the specification and into the structural drawings. Under NCC 2025 the fall, the step down, the hob and the overflow are Deemed to Satisfy dimensions measured at the structural substrate, not at the finish.
This one hour CPD course covers which balconies, podiums and concrete roofs the provisions reach, the four numbers that define a compliant slab, the thresholds, joints and penetrations where systems fail, and the balcony detail that records who decided what. It also sets out which states have adopted NCC 2025 and which edition governs the project on your screen.

A steel stud conducts heat several hundred times more readily than the timber it replaced, and it does so through the one part of the wall the insulation cannot reach.

Four revisions since September 2022, and the change log does not list every change. If your rating templates were set in 2022, parts of your next certificate may already be out of step with the Technical Note that binds you, from the default downlight count to how you choose between two heaters in one zone.

The assessment comes back short, and the first fix offered is more ceiling insulation. If the house failed on cooling, that money goes on the wrong number. Most of the cost of energy compliance is decided in the first week of design, long before anything is specified.
This one hour residential energy compliance CPD course is for building designers, residential drafters, practice principals, project home designers and new home sales designers. Four short modules, two case studies and a ten question quiz, with your certificate saved to your dashboard.
