Designed with specifiers in mind, our CPD courses are the optimum way to remain ahead of the curve with the latest technology and advancements within the field, all whilst improving your knowledge and confidence when it comes to specifying flat roofing solutions.
With over 40 years of experience in liquid waterproofing, we understand the varying complexities and requirements around flat roofing, which is why we have curated a selection a four RIBA CPD seminars for specifiers to select the most relevant course material for their needs. Delve further into our RIBA CPDs below.
Roofing Risk Management: A Considered Approach to Solving Flat Roof Issues
This CPD is highly relevant for any specifier or stakeholder involved in the refurbishment or management of flat roofs. Delegates will learn how to assess the true lifespan cost of a flat roofing systems, where responsibilities for long-term maintenance of flat roofs should lie, how to ensure your duty of care during works, in addition to the benefits of working closely with a manufacturer on your project.
Key Learning Outcomes
- A greater understanding of the causes of flat roof defects, the ability to identify problems, challenges and the potentials for future issues.
- An understanding of the factors to consider in order to enable a true-cost calculation of a flat roofing system including a cost per annum.
- The ability to assess the individual needs of each flat roofing project to determine the most appropriate flat roofing solution.
- The confidence to fully engage a manufacturer to make the most out of their services and to enable you to appropriately share responsibility and liability for a flat roofing project.
Fire Safety: An Introductory Guide for Flat Roofing
Polyroof’s Fire Safety CPD enables delegates to delve into the various causes of roof fires, as well as the inherent risks associated with the installation of commonly used flat roofing systems. Tailored for architects, specifiers, and stakeholders involved in the build, refurbishment, or management of flat roofs, this CPD will equip you with essential knowledge and strategies for mitigating the risk of fire in flat roofing systems.
Key Learning Outcomes
- An overview of roof fire causes, including the installation risks around commonly used systems.
- Understanding of the Regulatory Landscape and The Building Safety Act, ensuring compliance and safety in roofing projects.
- Gain insights into the workings of BS EN 13501-5 Test 4 and the significance of BroofT4 certification when evaluating roofing materials’ fire performance.
- Understand the pivotal role of third-party accreditation in ensuring quality, reliability, and compliance within the roofing industry.
- Discover the benefits of collaborative engagement with manufacturers to optimise the specification process, ensuring seamless project execution.
Sustainable Specification of Cold Liquid Applied Roofing Systems
Newly RIBA certified in 2024, our Sustainability CPD is a prime opportunity for delegates to learn how to maximise the sustainability benefits of cold liquid-applied waterproofing membranes, with a view to enhancing the sustainability criteria of their waterproofing projects. This seminar is tailored for architects, specifiers, and stakeholders engaged in the build or refurbishment or management of flat roofs, with a particular emphasis on mitigating the effects of climate change through cold liquid applied waterproofing systems. The content equips specifiers with essential knowledge and strategies on how to influence sustainability initiatives in flat roofing specification.
Key Learning Outcomes
