Construction firm Saint-Gobain Ireland has announced new dates for its Build Better Roadshow following the success of two events in Belfast and Cork.

The show will now travel to Galway on 25 June, with Waterford and Limerick following in October and November.

Over the next few months the Roadshow will travel the country providing local construction professionals the opportunity to undergo the vital upskilling needed to meet the requirements of today's sustainable building agenda, earn CPD points on Fire Safety Compliance and Sustainable Housing, and learn about new Saint-Gobain products coming to market.

Each Saint-Gobain Build Better Roadshow will be divided into a morning and afternoon seminar, featuring a host of expert guest speakers. The seminars will help bring architects, engineers and builders up to speed on a variety of current subject matters, from the most recent changes to Fire Regulations Part B to upcoming energy regulations such as nZEB. The seminars will also cover a variety of site performance issues such as airtightness detailing and best practice for acoustic performance. Attendees will also be given the opportunity to view an official products launch and get a first look at a whole range of new Gyproc and ISOVER products. The new products come from the Acoustic Ceilings, OneCoat plaster, and InLiner Board ranges. These free seminars are suitable for all construction professionals working in the residential and commercial sector.
