Where designs are not coordinated between design consultants – the risks for Architects

This webinar was held in March 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.
