CPD Courses Overview
Introduction to Seismic for Interiors
This course provides an overview of the critical aspects of seismic compliance for interiors engineering. We cover both New Zealand and Australian regulations, detailing what has changed since 2011 and why seismic compliance is more critical than ever. Topics include risk analysis, compliance pathways, and the importance of designing tailored solutions for non-load-bearing interior elements.
Tailored Courses and Training
We offer customised training to meet the specific needs of your team or organisation. Whether it’s a deep dive into compliance with AS/NZS standards, advanced coordination and detailing, or understanding specific interior elements like suspended ceilings and partitions, we ensure that our training is relevant to your projects. Gain hands-on experience and tailored solutions that address your unique challenges, ensuring your interiors engineering practices are compliant, efficient, and cutting-edge.
At Brevity, we understand the importance of staying ahead in an evolving industry.
We offer targeted Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and training programs tailored specifically for architects and engineers in Australia and New Zealand. Our courses are designed to enhance professional skills, ensure compliance with industry standards, and support practitioners in navigating the complexities of interiors engineering, specialising in seismic design and compliance.
Why Brevity?
Specialist Knowledge in Interiors Engineering
Brevity is the original interiors engineering firm specialising in seismic design and compliance. Our training offerings draw directly from our expertise in ensuring non-structural building elements (NSBE) are compliant with the latest regulations, including the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC), Australian National Construction Code (NCC), and relevant AS/NZS standards. We focus on practical, performance-based solutions for interior elements like partitions, ceilings, and services, preparing architects and engineers for challenges in both design and enforcement.
Tailored for Industry Needs
With increasing regulatory scrutiny and insurance requirements, our CPD programs equip participants with the knowledge to ensure buildings meet compliance from day one. We focus on the real-world application of interiors engineering, especially addressing the often-overlooked non-structural building elements, which, as highlighted by the Christchurch earthquake, can lead to significant costs if neglected.
Meeting Your CPD Requirements
Our CPD offerings are recognised by key professional bodies such as Engineers Australia, Engineering New Zealand, the New Zealand Registered Architects Board (NZRAB), and the Australian Institute of Architects. We ensure that our programs align with these organisations’ standards, helping professionals meet their annual CPD obligations efficiently while adding tangible value to their practice.
In a world where regulatory expectations are only getting stricter, our CPD and training services offer a unique advantage to architects and engineers looking to confidently design interior spaces that comply with seismic and other regulatory requirements. Whether you are new to interiors engineering or looking to refine your expertise, Brevity’s programs are crafted to provide practical, applicable knowledge that makes a difference.
