SUMMARY:Webinar - Fire safety glazing – a system not a product
DESCRIPTION:Specifying fire-resistant glazing and framing systems can be a complex process. This seminar on fire-resistant glazing will provide you with an understanding of the different classifications of fire resistant glasses and their properties\, in addition to key legislation and test standards. \nVideo footage and practical examples will be included to show how each classification performs differently. Various applications and compositions will also be covered to demonstrate the safety\, thermal\, acoustic and design options that can be achieved when specifying fire glass\, offering you a comprehensive introduction to the theme of fire-resistant glazing. \nBy the end of this CPD delegates should: \n1. Have an understanding of the capabilities of integrity only\, heat radiation control and fully insulated fire resistant glass. \n2. Know how to specify fire resistant glass to meet with recognised EU and passive fire protection industry terminology. \n3. Understand some of the acoustic properties of fire resistant glass in relation to BB93 including project examples. \n4. Know the basics of designing fire resistant certified systems for windows\, doors\, partitions and frameless systems applications. \n5. Have an understanding of how the multi-functionality of fire safety glass can facilitate innovations in architectural design\, with reference to project examples.

SUMMARY:AI webinars - essential viewing for all surveyors
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) is starting to reshape the role of surveyors — not by replacing them\, but by changing how they work. It enhances inspection\, analysis\, reporting\, and decision-making\, while human expertise remains central for judgement\, liability\, and client advice. \nBy integrating AI into their practice\, members and RICS-regulated firms can make data-driven decisions. However\, the responsible use of AI is important for the benefit of all stakeholders\, including the public and the environment. As AI deepens its transformation of surveying practice\, establishing clear\, reliable standards is more critical than ever. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe RICS has just published its new professional standard on the Responsible use of AI  \nAI is increasingly being involved – both knowingly and unknowingly – in producing professional work in surveying. Since AI can be used to substitute human decision-making\, it is important to have safeguards in place to ensure members and RICS-regulated firms maintain control of their professional work. This ensures quality for clients and upholds high standards in the public interest. \nThe standard aims to: \n\nassist RICS members and regulated firms in establishing guardrails to maintain professional judgement while adapting to the use of this new technology\nbuild confidence in data management\nensure effective communication with clients.\n\nBy doing so\, the standard seeks to support trust among stakeholders and ensure AI enhances safety\, resilience\, and innovation in the natural and built environment. \nTo assist your understanding CPD essentials is running two webinars on AI \n\nWorkshop 1 – 19 May 2026 – AI for Surveyors – a practical introduction\nWorkshop 2 – 4 June at 4pm – AI Compliance and the RICS Standard\n\nAI for Surveyors: A Practical Introduction \nA practical introduction to AI for surveyors. What it is\, how it works\, where it fits into day-to-day practice\, and where it breaks. \nDelivered live by Nina Young\, founder of Surveyors UK. \nWhat we cover: \n\nWhat AI actually is\, in plain English\nThe tools you are already using without realising\nDemonstrations of AI tools\nHow to write prompts that get useful results\nWhat AI gets wrong\, and why that matters\nPrivacy and client data – what not to do\n\nFormat: One hour live on. One hour formal CPD. Slides and links sent after. \nDate: 19 May 4 – 5pm \nCost: £45.00 \nWorkshop 2 – GUARD AI workshop \n\n\nGetting started with the RICS Professional Standard on Responsible Use of AI in Surveying Practice \n\n\nG – Governance – what does your firm need in place before anyone touches AI? \nU – Use – what do you do when AI meets a live instruction? \nA – Accountability – who is responsible and what they must sign off?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nR – Risk – what could go wrong and how to manage it? \nD – Documentation – what must you tell clients and be able to show on request? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA focused\, practical workshop for surveyors and firm directors who need to understand the standard and act on it. Built around the GUARD Framework: Governance\, Use\, Accountability\, Risk\, Documentation. \nThe session is not an introduction to AI and it is recommended that you book both sessions. This session is focused on: \n\na map of mandatory requirements\nPractical guidance on implementation\nHow to structure your approach\nUseful tips and tools to take away\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of this workshop\, you will: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKnow every mandatory requirement in the standard and which ones apply to your firm\nUnderstand the materiality test that determines how much of the standard you need to implement\nHave a practical structure for building AI governance using the GUARD Framework\nBe able to start building the core compliance documents the standard requires\nKnow how to explain to clients\, colleagues\, and insurers how your firm governs its use of AI\n\nFormat: One hour live online. One hour formal CPD. Slides and links sent after. \nDate: 4 June 4-5pm \nCost: £70.00 + VAT \n** BOOK BOTH SESSIONS FOR £100 AND SAVE £15 **

The house is designated Grade I listed building\, while its surrounding park and gardens are listed at Grade II. \nConstructed in 1581 for the wealthy cloth merchant Thomas Dolman\, the house later became associated with the Second Battle of Newbury\, during which it stood at the centre of the fighting. Although long believed to have served as headquarters for King Charles I\, recent research suggests he never actually visited the property. The house did\, however\, host other notable visitors\, including Elizabeth I. \nIn the 1720s\, Shaw House was acquired by James Brydges\, 1st Duke of Chandos. While not his principal residence\, the family spent time in the area\, and the second Duke became known locally for marrying Anne Wells\, a chambermaid from Newbury. Following the first Duke’s death in 1744\, the dowager duchess resided at the house until 1750\, after which it was sold to the Andrews family. It later became the childhood home of historian James Pettit Andrews and\, for many years\, also served as a school. \nWhy choose CPD essentials\n✅ Local✅ Cost effective✅ Expert and informative speakers✅ Personal and friendly service \n💼 Price: £160 + VAT (includes refreshments\, lunch\, and a comprehensive online delegate pack)🎯 CPD: 6 hours \nContact Alison with any questions \n
