Description
This course provides an intermediate-level overview of bio-based building materials, focusing on their risks, benefits, and compliance requirements within the Australian construction context. It explores key material types such as timber, hempcrete, and emerging products, alongside their lifecycle performance and embodied carbon characteristics. The course examines critical performance requirements including fire safety, moisture management, thermal performance, and structural adequacy under NCC 2022. It also explains compliance pathways, particularly the Evidence of Suitability framework and the role of Performance Solutions, certification, and testing. Finally, it translates this knowledge into practical specification, documentation, and risk management strategies to support real-world project delivery.
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.
