CONTRACTORS INVITED TO UPDATE THEIR BUILDING KNOWLEDGE AT SUPERSHOW
A free contractor education supershow being held in Caloundra on August 14 will give builders the opportunity to update their skills and learn about new standards and regulations.
Public Works and Housing Minister Robert Schwarten said the supershow had been organised by the Queensland Building Services Authority in partnership with Construction Skills Queensland.
“To improve work standards and help Queenslanders build better, the BSA and CSQ have come together to deliver events like this across the state,” Mr Schwarten said.
“The supershow will include live and DVD presentations on a range of topics including rainwater tank installation, getting paid quicker with the Building and Construction Industry Payments Act 2004, the BSA’s dispute resolution process and compliance with the BSA’s subsidence policy .”
The supershow will be held at the Sunshine Coast Function Centre at 19 West Terrace, Caloundra, starting at 8am.
“This is a great opportunity for builders working in the Sunshine Coast region to get updated on new standards and regulations, see demonstrations of best practice methods, and find out how to avoid building pitfalls,” Mr Schwarten said.
Contractors are urged to reserve a place by contacting BSA on 1300 272 272, or visiting the BSA website at www.bsa.qld.gov.au.
