Compliance Awareness Seminar for Residents

Overview
The Golden thread of the Hackett report seeks to extend best practice beyond construction professionals to wider society, relaying key information about a building through a chain of stakeholders, from architects to engineers, to building safety managers to end-users. This seminar is an essential step in educating residents in best practice.
