Ensuring staff knowledge is kept up to date, City Architects staff regularly attend continuing professional development (CPD) events or talks.
CPD is a mandatory requirement for registered Architects, however it is up to individual practices to determine their exact content depending on their own particular work areas. Presentations and discussions are typically an hour long and cover diverse topics. A key focus in recent times has been legislative changes in Building Control which has is not only changing the way professionals in the construction industry will work in the future, but will also have significant implications for building users and customers down the line.
