Status Quo - Quotes
“………funding for the up-skilling of construction workers have been limited to the unemployed….There has been no acknowledgement of the importance……..to up-skill construction workers that are still employed….”
“Typical dwelling retrofit projects….will rarely sustain the engagement of traditional building design professionals…... The onus, therefore, will be on the building contractor or craft workers/installers to apply newly introduced principles and technologies to a multitude of different building types.”
“Trainers in this sector are usually employed on the basis of trade related qualifications………. the majority have been employed in education prior to the implementation of new building standards, therefore may have limited awareness or experience of the changes that are occurring onsite “
