An exclusive industry event presented by ICONIQ Fire
The industry has done great work the past 5 years to help shift Passive Fire being an after thought and becoming recognized as a Specialist Trade, however each stakeholder still have their challenges.
ICONIQ aims to address the industry's concerns with each stakeholder providing their expertise on:
- What we've been doing well and
- What can be done better to help close the gap between stakeholders
This event is for you if you've experienced:
1. Inconsistencies with Council Standards & Levels of Experience
2. Passive Fire still an afterthought, late & incomplete design integration
3. Lack of education and baseline level of knowledge
4. Lack of collaboration & early up front co-ordination (at Design & Construction phases).
All of which are impacting our bottom line.
Join us for an insightful evening with key industry stakeholders as we address these challenges and help "clear the smoke".
