I would say the Victorian Building Bureaucracy has let you down and it is pathetic, to think that we have made great technological advancements and they are not interested in advancing the plot of the average punter.

Yes, I know. It is a good website that deserves to be kept updated. Nearly all of the information is current though. Hmmm. For some reason, the website address has changed in my post and clicking it no longer takes you to the site. Strange! I have notified admin. 3in1 Supadiverta.

But no one is perfect and from time to time we all make mistakes. Especially when customers want cheaper and cheaper fees. Re: Just found my concreter has no licence! 39Jan 16, 2016 1:04 am StructuralBIMGuy I am against restrictive practices that create monopolies and control services/prices eg If you complete the Architectural Degree you can't use the word architect unless you are a member of AIA, which is not the case for engineers. That is no quite right there. Architects must be registered with the state Architectural Registration Board. AIA is only an industry body to promote architecture, lobby government and provides support networks ongoing professional education. Registration in NSW is required under the NSW Architect Act 2003. The only time you must use an architect is in the design of residential flat buildings under SEPP 65. My understanding engineers in NSW are subject similar regulation. What this boils down to that the Architects act is designed to protect the consumer... Not the architect. The architect is require to carry PI Insurance, as a designer you are not. If you go to sue a designer without PI insurance then it is unlikely that you will have potentially access to 5 mill provided by my insurance. The completion of an architectural does not make an architect. The registration process requires a minimum of 2 years experience and to sit 2 very grueling exams, one of which is a face to face interview. Many do not make it through. I would be the first to agree, however the industry needs a shake up and rethink the way in which we practice and the services we offer and how we offer them. On my part all I can say is stay tuned, there is a number of thing I am working on to provide greater service, beyond simply bespoke design services for squillionairs or companies with deep pockets.

None of the building game is an exact science. It comes down to the approach by all parties to want the best outcome and find the path that suits.
