what's on

"We've had very good feedback (again!)" said RIBA South/South East about the Building Regs Part L session delivered in Crawley by jhai's Director of Technical Services & Learning, Andy Crooks.
Attendees particularly praised the case studies and specific tips on compliance.

Of the 23 feedback forms received 10 rated Andy as a 'Good' speaker and 13 said he was 'Excellent'. All 23 Architects agreed that the content would be relevant to their work and one attendee commented that "This was the best Building Regs Part L lecture I've been to..."

If you have a practice with 6 or more technical staff Andy can deliver his Part L lecture free of charge at your offices - saving you time and money.
Smaller practices could team up - let us know what you'd like and we'll see what we can do.

If you have a particular training need or if you have an idea for an event where you'd like us to speak, let us know.

We'll look at putting on a seminar in your area or even visit your offices if there's something you want your whole business to know about.

We can deliver presentations on all aspects of the Building Regulations and have experts in the associated fields of Fire, Inclusive Design, Planning & Sustainability and Energy Assessments.

For example, our Inclusive Design department includes Terry Warren BA (Hons) NRAC, who has delivered lectures to, among others, RIBA, RICS, ABE and LA Building Control and Karen Ross MSc, PgC, NRAC who has provided training for various London Boroughs and public and professional bodies. Karen's MSc Thesis was on Design Guidance for Dementia.

The photograph was taken at one of Karen's presentations for RIBA entitled " The Myths and Realities of Inclusive Design."
Architects were invited to try on "Sim Specs" which, whilst not attempting to replicate the experience of visual impairment, helped explain how various design features can aid navigation and increase the accessibility of a building.
