Rod Taylor of First Bricks presented a workshop on clay brick to the Border Kei Institute of Architects in East London.
Executive Officer Glynis Heger explains that the Association provides a professional support system to enrich the local architectural community, and assists members to meet their SACAP Continuing Professional Development requirements
The 2 CPD workshops proved a tremendous success with 33 registered delegates. Despite two cancellations, 35 people arrived to make up a 110% turnout!
The post-workshop feedback from the architects was very positive, with comments that they did not realise the complexity of brick production and use. Rod’s two CPD presentations were rated at 90%, a particularly impressive score
The Ecoweep product was also launched at the event. EcoWeep™ is a patented weep hole with a unique louvered design which prevents driving rain and any intrusion from rodents and snakes.
