CSIRO Appraisals Print E-mail
The CSIRO Appraisals website advises that following the launch of the Codemark building product certification scheme by the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB), CSIRO has decided to discontinue the CSIRO Appraisals scheme by 31 December 2009. CSIRO is no longer accepting applications for the appraisal of new products or systems by CSIRO Appraisals. CSIRO continues to provide a comprehensive range of building and construction testing and consulting services through CSIRO’s Industrial Research Services group. Information regarding these services is available at http://www.csiro.au/services/psai.html.
 
The AIBS representative on the CSIRO Appraisals Technical Advisory Council (TAC) Mr Graeme Geary also advises that CSIRO is offering all Appraisal holders the opportunity to revalidate their technical assessments until 2009 to ensure that Appraisal holders have sufficient time to obtain CodeMark certification or other product approval. Users of CSIRO Appraisals technical assessments can continue to use the technical assessments while they remain valid and can contact CSIRO on 1300 363 400 to confirm the status of any technical assessment
 
The CSIRO appraisals website advises that further information regarding CSIRO Appraisals can be obtained by contacting the Appraisals Coordinator Janelle Sinclair (Email: This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it )

TABS - Who got it done? Print E-mail

Would you like to nominate somebody for this new section in TABS called ‘Who got it done?’

Have you always wanted some way to acknowledge a colleague or highlight a team member’s outstanding achievements?

TABS would like to highlight one or two or more, building surveyors who have accomplished a particularly tough task. The ‘doer’ can be self-nominated or you could put forward a colleague.

As building professionals we are often too humble. It’s time to blow the trumpet. This is a great opportunity to recognise the achievements of your fellow building surveyor or industry collegue.

So send your nomination to the National Editor, together with a photo of the person, a picture of the achievement (if possible), and a few words about the achievement.

Your nomination can be sent to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it

Articles in TABS – Specifications
How many words should I write? What kind of photos can I use? Here are the specs …

How Many words page?
900 words per page allows for a reasonable photo.
Without photos, we can get about 1400 words to a page.
Maximum word count is about 2800 words.

About the Author
Please include a photo of the author, and a few words about the author.

Photo quality
We do like pictures. Pages in the magazine with lots of words but no graphic images can get a bit boring.
The larger the picture, the better. We need photos in 300 dpi if possible.
Photo images taken from web-sites are usually not large enough for printing in a magazine.

The conference theme “On Track” will follow on from the 2007 “Transitions - from professional challenges to future visions” conference which formed the platform from which the train has left. By being “On Track” we can now move into the era of maintaining the standards of the profession which are required to meet the challenges and visions of the future we all face in our roles as Building Surveyors and other professions. Western Australia will host this event at the Perth Convention centre between the 23rd and 26th November 2008.

The venue overlooks the Swan River and provides a pleasant surrounding to take in the open foreshore which includes such icons as the underground city rail link station, The Bell Tower, the Old Mill and the magnificent city skyline. The WA Chapter is well known for having a good time and I am sure that you will not be disappointed. Although the program has not been set at this time I can assure you that the topics and presenters will worthy of your attention.
