Skills maintenance support continues

In an industry that’s committed to building ever more safe, healthy and durable buildings, it’s inevitable that the techniques, products and regulations surrounding it continue to evolve. To support its customers in navigating these changes, PlaceMakers continues to offer opportunities for upskilling

This winter, PlaceMakers is once again providing builders with the opportunity to get up to speed with industry changes – and earn skills maintenance points – by attending its next round of seminars.

“Ensuring that our customers can earn all of their elective skills maintenance points through PlaceMakers initiatives is a key focus for us,” says Gary Woodhouse, General Manager Operations and Marketing. “We want to support our builders’ professional development and, in turn, the industry’s professionalism and competency as a whole.”

Getting technical

PlaceMakers has teamed up with three suppliers – SIKA, James Hardie and Thermakraft – to provide “from the horses’ mouth” expertise on best practice installation and new product innovations.

The business side of things

In this day and age, being good on the tools is only half the job for a business owner. Project and paper management, insurance and business nous are important factors in reaching your success goals. NextMinute, BuiltIn Insurance and The Trades Coach will provide insights and resources to help you manage these areas of your business more effectively.

Regulatory updates

The seminars will also include reminders about recent regulatory changes, including the recent RMA reform and compliance around pool fencing. We will also cover some LBP updates from MBIE.
