150 Mins

For buildings to perform effectively over their lifespan, well designed technical, maintenance and management systems are critical. The very best buildings are comfortable to occupy, efficient to run (minimise the use of energy), easy to maintain and comply with all regulatory standards for safety.

Designers have an important role in creating these buildings by working with clients, stakeholders, and occupants to help them to understand how the building functions and how its operating systems (electrical/fire/safety/maintenance) work together to fulfil its intended use.

A critical and potentially dangerous area that is often overlooked in modern buildings is when modifications over the building lifespan are not reflected in the changes to the safety and maintenance plans and matrixes. This, along with the topics outlined below, will be explored by our expert panel of building code, fire, and facilities management experts.
 
Facilities Management:
  • Changes to the building and implications
  • Risks associated with poor documentation
  • Council and insurance risks
  • Cost implications of not getting it right
  • How and why a Handbook for all commercial buildings would be beneficial
  • Co-ordinating the right people and contractors
  • Considerations for retrofitting works
  • Holistic maintenance strategies
 
NCC Considerations
  • Relevant changes in BCA with consideration to building lifecycle
  • Existing building challenges
  • Why code compliant DTS building design is not always achievable
  • Legislative requirements for building maintenance
  • Progress on BCA handbook for all commercial buildings
 
Fire and Safety Considerations
  • Outline of design through to construction from a fire safety perspective.
  • Commissioning and final sign off by the project fire engineer
  • Developing a building fire matrix and challenges with multiple disciplines
  • Following construction modification and changes cause and effect of fire safety systems
  • New or existing building challenges for function testing with ongoing updates to the matrix / handbook
  • How and why a fire engineer is well placed to assist with a Handbook for all commercial buildings
