We Were There! AIW Proud Sponsor at Brisbane – 11 October 2024 The AIW had Brisbane covered with friendly service and advice from the awesome Queensland crew at the northern leg of Construction and Waterproofing in 2024 held at the Convention Centre. The conference provided the Sunshine State’s construction industry with an early warning of changes in standards, expectations and regulations as they creep northward from the southern states. It was information-packed day of knowledge-sharing and networking that the AIW was proud to be a part of.
