🚀 Key Takeaways from the AAC Conference! 🚀 Here are some of the key takeaways that we took from the AAC conference for your information: 🏡 Federal Housing Plans: - The government plans to build 1.2 million homes to address the housing crisis, but the skills shortage makes this ambitious. One solution is increasing skilled workers via immigration, though this could further strain the housing market. We recently posted more details about this on our website and LinkedIn. 👷 Certifier Mentor Programs: - With many certifiers ageing, the AAC discussed a shift toward mentor programs to support younger certifiers. 🛠️ Building Commissioner Updates: - The current Building Commissioner has made significant industry changes and is leaving soon. The commissioner's office is also launching a defects library to support construction professionals to build industry capability, it will be released 13 June. 🖥️ Planning Portal Issues: - Universal frustration with the Planning Portal! The AAC advocates for better training, reinstating the helpline, introducing a 'not applicable' button, and real-time testing. 📜 New Building Act: - The NSW government committed to creating a new Building Act which utilises plain English. The new Building Act will consolidate and modernise many pieces of legislation, some decades old, scattered throughout the state’s statute books. It’s intended to reduce complexity. The first draft will be out next month. 🔒 Scam Awareness: - Beware of sophisticated scams and phishing attempts. Always use multi-factor authentication and check if your details have been compromised on Have I Been Pwned: https://lnkd.in/e-Qp3_C ⚖️ Certifier Responsibilities: - Many certifiers face disciplinary actions due to competence, diligence, or integrity issues. Advice on responding to investigations was provided. 📋 Certifier Insurance: - Insurance providers highlighted crucial clauses to watch out for in certifier insurance. 🤖 Chat GPT & AI Integration: - A demo of Chat GPT 4o was impressive! It was suggested Chat GPT 4.0 can help certifiers on a daily basis, with regulatory guidance and quick access to building codes, amongst other things. AI experts suggested integrating AI into businesses and creating strategic workforce plans. 📊 Chain of Responsibility: - A preview of an infographic highlighting the chain of responsibility for design and construction was shared. It is intended to create more clarity around the responsible parties in the end-to-end process. Amongst other highlights! It was fantastic catching up, swapping stories, and connecting with fellow industry peers. Big thanks to the AAC, and we're already looking forward to next year's gathering! #AACConference #BuildingCertification #Construction #HousingCrisis #SkillsShortage #FutureCert #AIIntegration #TrainingPrograms #ScamAwareness #NewBuildingAct #CertifierResponsibilities
