This RForm Bulletin bulletin focuses on the long project timelines that are a significant hurdle in addressing the housing shortage. The relationship between the time it takes to build and the availability of homes is a delicate dance of resources, regulations, and workforce. By exploring the factors that contribute to these extended timelines, from securing permits to the intricacies of resource allocation and scheduling, we aim to shed light on how these challenges contribute to the scarcity of housing and what might be done to mitigate these issues, thus contributing to a solution for the Canadian housing crisis. In this bulletin, we offer solutions to many common issues that arise in architecture offices, big and small (intended to be useful whether you are an RForm user or not). We hope you find it useful and encourage you to follow the RForm blog for more business solutions. Bulletin Link: https://lnkd.in/etAzVXVg

In New South Wales, you can check the current registration status of Design Practitioners or Building Practitioners by typing any person's name (first or last) into the search engine at this link: https://lnkd.in/gnNq7zVp This will display a record of those who have made a successful effort to provide details of education/experience and paid the relevant fee, but doesn't necessarily guarantee competence or quality. Hopefully when applicants apply for registration, they have the integrity to tell the truth about their background! By law, certain classes of buildings in NSW (currently 2, 3 & 9c buildings, including mixed-use buildings) require engineers and practitioners to be registered in their relevant field of expertise when they design or construct or declare compliance. Class 9c relates to residential care buildings. Below are some examples of the main building classes. #building #construction #engineering #architecture

Did you know a new edition of the Ontario Building Code (OBC) is expected to be released early this year? The biggest overhaul since its introduction in 1975, the 2024 edition is anticipated to contain approximately 2,400 changes and further harmonize this provincial document with National Construction Codes. Join us on Tuesday, March 12 at 12:00 PM EST to get a head start on familiarizing yourself with this new edition as we review some of the proposed changes to Part 3, “Fire Protection, Occupant Safety and Accessibility,” with Rhiannon Todd, P.Eng. of CodeNext. Intended for those already familiar with the OBC, this virtual TSA Technical Lecture will provide attendees with a high-level summary and discussion of the changes that have been proposed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) in preparation for the new code edition. Topics will include: * New occupancy types and definitions; * Technical changes with impact on building design such as building construction materials, interconnected floor space protection, and mezzanine design to align with the 2020 National Building Code of Canada; * Technical changes to the application and design of fire and life safety systems to align with the NBC; and * Ontario-only changes related to the design of public pools and rapid-transit stations. As always, this lecture is open to everyone and FREE for TSA Members! It is also eligible for 1 Structured Learning Hour for the Ontario Association of Architects. RSVP today: https://lnkd.in/g2pgCt-T The TSA Technical Lecture Series is made possible thanks to the generous support of ROCKWOOL North America. #TorontoSocietyofArchitects #architecture #architects #OBC #OntarioBuildingCode #Part3 RAIC - IRAC

Legally speaking, do you know when you need to hire an Architect? Do you know when you do not need to engage an Architect's services? We have met many who do not know the answer. As architects, we like to think we should be engaged for every project whether you think you need us or not! We have been trained in this industry, tested in our resolve, are solution oriented, and are skilled in coordinating with other consultants and services to get the job done right. However, it is important to know when our services are legally required and when they are not. Structures of all kinds pose a risk to the public. Requiring a licensed professional to work on the plans for these structures is in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of the people who inhabit and visit those structures. Each state has their own rules and exceptions based on the scope of your project. According to Florida Statutes Title XXXII 481.229, there are exceptions to when an Architect is required to be part of your project. (a) Any building upon any farm for the use of any farmer, regardless of the cost of the building; (b) Any one-family or two-family residence building, townhouse, or domestic outbuilding appurtenant to any one-family or two-family residence, regardless of cost; or (c) Any other type of building costing less than $25,000, except a school, auditorium, or other building intended for public use, provided that the services of a registered architect shall not be required for minor school projects pursuant to s. 1013.45. Be sure to visit our website article on this topic for more information. https://lnkd.in/eCRZp5Pk #llgarc #architect #themoreyouknow

The war against ignorance is architects' biggest battle. This battlefield is in the minds of our clients. According to the shocking results of a survey undertaken by Architects' Journal of 2,031 adults, people don’t know what architects do. 72% are unaware that architects apply for planning permission 79% don't know architects ensure buildings comply with health and safety legislation 86% have no idea architects select, negotiate with, and manage contractors 20% are unaware architects prepare construction drawings 9% DO understand architects control site budgets 15% don't know that architects design buildings 33.3% of over 55s were aware that architects prepare planning permissions, whereas: 14% of 18-24s were aware that architects prepare planning permissions 20% of young adults were aware that architects handle building control certificates and guarantees We can look at this war in two ways: 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 Once architects accept responsibility for the education process you take power back. Your weapon is education. Read Richard Petrie's most controversial blog to find out how to win the Silent War on Architects: 👉 https://lnkd.in/gGNN38xP 👈

I'm carrying out a research project for my final year dissertation submission. If you are responsible for advising on, or delivering construction projects on HRB's your participation would be valued. The aim of the research is simple - To understand the impact, that The Building Safety Act 2022 has had on owners of HRB’s when appointing competent consultants, designers and contractors. The questionnaire should take no longer than 15 minutes and will be completely anonymous. If anyone within my #socialhousing, #surveying or #construction network could share the below questionnaire it would be greatly appreciated. #buildingsafetyact #buildingsurveying #competence https://lnkd.in/eFyVqeih
