As is also standard, compliance of these products can involve either the more prescriptive and standardised Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) solutions, or Performance Solutions (which vary according to the specific job).
In the case of level entry thresholds, the DTS option is broadly acknowledged as the way to go. For these products, specifiers generally see Performance Solutions as not just unnecessary but too expensive. That said, the pathway to DTS compliance is not as clear as it could be.
This CPD Live Session is intended to address that lack of clarity. Beginning by outlining the relevant regulations, their purpose, and their origins, our speakers will point to expected changes to the NCC and the ways they are likely to impact the installation of level entry thresholds.
From there, they will go on to outline the clearest and simplest pathway to not just DTS compliance but best practice.
Effective drainage systems play a critical role in liveable housing design.
Poor drainage can lead to slip and trip hazards, poor hygiene and costly structural damage – all of which can contribute to a loss of amenity for a dwelling's inhabitants.
Selecting a purpose built, and liveable housing compliant solution ensures that drainage integrates seamlessly within a space, does not hinder mobility and is easy to maintain.
This presentation looks at the fundamental principles of Livable Housing Design and suggests practicable drainage solutions aligned with the standard with design benefits that extend beyond compliance.
