CPD Webinar: Deep Dive into D&C Procurement
This webinar was held in November 2024. Please note: watching this recording qualifies you for Informal CPD only.
This is a seminar on D&C Procurement - a key risk identified in the ARBV’s recent Deep Dive Report into Systemic Risks in the Architecture Sector. In this seminar, Mei Yang (Associate at Plus Architecture) and Dariel De Sousa (Director, Dart Legal & Consulting) discussed:
- the impact of D&C procurement on design and the delivery of architectural services
- factors that contribute to adverse outcomes for architects in the D&C context
- the impact of D&C contracts on the allocation of risk, liability and insurance
- mechanisms that can mitigate adverse impacts of D&C procurement for architects
This seminar is the second in a series of four that the ARBV is running to share the findings and recommendations in the Deep Dive Report.
CPD Webinar: Roof Drainage for Low Pitched Metal Roofs
This webinar was held in October 2024. Please note: watching this recording qualifies you for Informal CPD only.
The answer to CDP Question 1 was incorrect and has been corrected in the above PowerPoint attachment. This question related to preparing Performance Solutions in relation to SA HB 39 but failed to take into account an amendment to the Victorian Plumbing Regulations which occurred on 26 September 2023.
The ARBV was joined by Rowan Gregory of Preventative Structural Engineering on Wednesday 23 October to discuss roof drainage for low pitched metal roofs incorporating box gutter systems.
Rowan has been carrying out roof drainage designs as part of his work over a number of years and discussed:
- Fundamentals of roof drainage to AS/NZS 3500.3-2021 Stormwater drainage code.
- The Dam Buster roof drainage system and finding solutions for box gutter systems.
- The importance of detailed documentation of roof drainage at building permit stage.
- Understanding change of direction of box gutters.
CPD Webinar: Deep dive into client-architect relationships and agreements
This webinar was held in September 2024. Please note: watching this recording qualifies you for Informal CPD only.
The ARBV was joined by Dariel De Sousa on Wednesday 18 September to explore the findings of the Deep Dive Report into Systemic Risks in the Architecture Sector.
Dariel provided background about the systemic risks research and discussed:
- What are systemic risks and why is the ARBV concerned about them?
- An overview of the two systemic risks reports.
- What is the purpose of the research?
- How will the ARBV use the findings from the research?
The webinar also covers factors that affect client-architect relationships, communication between clients and architects, fee structures and report recommendations regarding education and training to enhance client-architect relationships.

Where designs are not coordinated between design consultants – the risks for Architects
This webinar was held in March and April 2024. Please note: watching this recording qualifies you for Informal CPD only.
This webinar provides an overview of the Building Act and National Construction Code requirements for a satisfactory building design in Victoria and how a lack of consultation between design consultants, including architects, engineers and fire safety consultants can result in non-compliant buildings and litigation regarding defects. We cover the reasons why design coordination and consultation might not occur at an early stage, what risks that poses to architects, how those risks could be avoided and the legislative changes to design liability that have occurred interstate and which may occur in Victoria.
