OVERVIEW:
Hobart & Launceston Sessions
Join us for an eye-opening networking breakfast where industry expert Wayne Gorman will tackle a critical question: Is there a widening disconnect between 'as-drawn' projects and 'as-built' reality?
Drawing from numerous on-site inspections, Wayne will share real-world examples revealing how construction methods—appearing sound on paper and compliant with the NCC—can lead to unexpected challenges during actual construction. This practical presentation will equip you with valuable insights to help bridge the gap between design intent and built outcomes.
SPEAKER:
