DATE FOR DIARY - HBF Technical Conference 2024
The past few years have seen unprecedented challenges for the housebuilding industry’s Technical teams with a raft of new regulations now coming into force. This year is no different with six Building Regulation updates anticipated from government.
The HBF Technical Conference is set to look in depth at these changes and their implications, focusing on what the industry needs to do to meet the new demands. These include the uplifts to Approved Document Part L (conservation of fuel and power), work that the Future Homes Hub are involved in with regarding Whole Life Carbon and the Water Efficiency Roadmap. The conference will hear about the Timber in Construction Roadmap released at the end of last year by Defra as well as ownership and maintenance of open space areas on residential developments including stewardship in response to the findings of the CMA study earlier this year.
The Technical Conference will see a Utilities Panel formed of industry experts providing insight into the latest changes in telecommunications, electrical power, heat networks and upcoming changes in water efficiency and regulations. The HBF Technical Conference will also hear from the British Board of Agrément (BBA) on product certifications and changes to product certification and reducing risk in product selection. We will also be joined by the Health & Safety Executive in addition to the NHBC for upcoming changes to standards and technical guidance.
The HBF Technical Conference will help inform & navigate a route through the technical challenges ahead.
Tickets will be launched at the end of May..
