We all know that prime plots of land are becoming increasingly difficult to acquire, however for those willing to think outside the box and look at sloping sites, Stepoc is the ultimate solution for maximising land use, allowing the construction of retaining walls and basements. This presentation will cover Stepoc and other retaining wall systems that can be incorporated into new build schemes as well as looking at the wider offering from Ibstock.

This new CPD explains the critical functions of façade membranes within external wall systems, including protection against weather, maintaining the integrity of the building envelope, enhancing energy efficiency, and fire protection which has become essential under post-Grenfell regulations. The webinar outlines the ideal solutions for different requirements, including optimum fire safety, protection against driving rain and prevention of mould. It focuses on high-rise/higher-risk buildings, and facades that need to be watertight. The CPD also outlines essential UK Building Regulations and the certificates required to demonstrate compliance.
