The SKArating Pathways offer two distinct routes to help professionals advance their knowledge and skills within the SKArating scheme:
- SKArating Competent Professional: For those seeking to deepen their understanding of the scheme and environmental sustainability in interior fitout without becoming an Assessor.
- SKArating Assessor: For one or all schemes, this pathway is tailored for those who wish to assess projects under the SKArating scheme.
Choosing the right pathway for you begins with a self-assessment of your current competency. This will help you understand the knowledge, skills and experiences required for each pathway - and how you can grow within it.

Quality Always…
Maximizing a property isn’t just about what you do to the existing structure.
Adding an addition to the existing structure or an accessory building are ways to maximize the overall value added onto the whole property.
Check your local regulations and building department to see what’s possible.

Did you know that the Founders of Ramboll designed the famous Balloon Ferris Wheel in the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen? 🎡
The Balloon Ferris Wheel was one of Børge Rambøll and Johan Hannemann’s first steel constructions.
“Børge and I were on board one of the baskets during the test ride for the newly assembled structure. The wheel was going round at full speed when I suddenly realised with dread that the speed was practically twice of what it was supposed to be. The basket swayed dangerously but fortunately the brakes were designed to have maximum efficiency and we all returned safely to the ground after the wheel finally stopped”.
The quote is Johan Hannemann’s, taken from an article in an internal company magazine, where he explained a test ride in one of their first steel structures – the Balloon Ferris Wheel in the historic amusement park Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark.
It was a challenging construction. The Balloon Ferris Wheel had to be rotatable but spacious and comfortable at same time; it had to withstand transverse forces from the wind without wobbling and remain steady when braking.
Furthermore, a unilateral movable load had to be taken into consideration. And at the same time, they had to design a slender frame for the wheel so that the construction would not seem ungainly.
Fortunately, it did not take long to identify the issues that caused the rocky test ride, and the Balloon Ferris Wheel is still spinning today – at a proper speed.

This evening, the Oceanside City Council voted unanimously to approve the siting recommendation for the RE:BEACH Oceanside “Living Speed Bumps” concept. This innovative concept involves building two small headlands, now determined to be located at Tyson Street Park and at Wisconsin Avenue, and an offshore artificial reef situated between the headlands. The “Living Speed Bumps” pilot project aims to restore and preserve sand on Oceanside beaches south of the Pier with a method that emerged from the RE:BEACH Oceanside International Design Competition.

🏗️ Reimagining the Future of Student Accommodation and Beyond 🏡
Developers are recognising that student accommodation and hotels share many of the same needs, which is why they’re increasingly turning to us. With our proven expertise in high-quality furniture, fit-outs, and custom modular construction, we’re uniquely positioned to meet these demands while driving innovative, sustainable design forward.
But as we collaborate with developers, a question lingers: Why are so many still designing uninspired, box-like structures?
We have a unique opportunity to lead by example and rethink housing across Australia—whether it’s NDIS houses, residential projects, or student accommodations. Imagine embracing the principles of biophilic design, like the Danes, to create sustainable, enriching environments that truly enhance well-being.
I’m encouraged by the growing consensus around building upwards, but can we push further? Let’s move beyond the mundane, and design spaces that foster growth, creativity, and a deep connection to nature. Our kids—whether they’re university students or growing up in Sydney’s west—deserve better.
Cost concerns? They’re real, but modular construction in a factory setting makes innovative design more accessible than you might think. Let’s seize this moment to create something remarkable—housing that reflects our commitment to sustainability and well-being. 🌿✨
