SUMMARY:BDQ Online CPD Masterclass with Webber Insurance
DESCRIPTION:How AI Could Impact Your Insurance Program\nOverview\nAI as a tool\, not a substitute for judgement  \nWhy AI should support your experience and qualifications\, whether you are on the tools\, in the site office or at the design desk\, rather than replacing your professional advice or decisions. \nRetaining control over your final work  \nThe risks of “set and forget” or end‑to‑end automation\, and why human review\, checking and sign‑off of AI‑generated designs\, quantities\, reports or advice remain essential from both a licensing and PI perspective. \nHow PI insurers are likely to respond  \nEmerging trends in AI‑related limitations and exclusions\, what underwriters are starting to look for when you use AI in your delivery\, and how poor governance or lack of oversight could affect your cover. \nWhy today’s AI use could be tested tomorrow  \nHow PI policy wordings can tighten over time\, why AI‑specific exclusions might be introduced at renewal\, and the risk that future wording changes may impact work already completed using AI tools. \nFollowing AI principles in practice  \nHow applying clear AI principles – like human oversight\, transparency\, accountability and data protection\, can help demonstrate that you are using AI responsibly\, and how frameworks (such as those supported by MyEmpire Group) can guide both professional and site‑based teams. \nPresenters\nDaniel Webber (Webber Insurance) \nDaniel is a Director at Webber Insurance with deep expertise in Professional Indemnity and complex\, non-standard risk placements. Since joining the business in 2013\, he has played a central role in shaping Webber Insurance Services into a thriving commercial brokerage. Daniel works closely with clients\, partners and underwriters\, building the strong relationships needed to deliver high-quality outcomes. He is known for his practical problem-solving approach and his ability to navigate challenging scenarios\, providing clients with clear guidance and tailored insurance solutions. \nChris Self (MyEmpire Group) \nChris is a highly experienced information security principal. He has worked as a senior cyber security consultant for the Big 4. Prior to starting with MyEmpire Group\, he was the Information Security Manager at Adelaide Airport\, where he led a full rebuild of the airport’s cyber security processes and infrastructure. Chris holds a master’s in information systems security and a number of information security certifications\, including CISSP and CRISC. \nLearning Outcomes\nYou’ll leave with practical ideas on how to keep using AI to improve productivity\, while protecting your licence\, reputation and Professional Indemnity cover.

SUMMARY:BDQ Online CPD Masterclass with BERA
DESCRIPTION:7 STARS WITHOUT BUDGET BLOWOUTS: Smart\, Cost-Efficient Pathways to Compliance \nOverviewJoin us for a technical CPD session exploring practical\, cost-effective strategies for achieving 7-Star compliance without unnecessary upgrades or inflated build costs. \nThere is a common perception that moving to 7 Stars automatically requires more insulation\, higher-spec glazing\, and across-the-board upgrades. In reality\, compliance under Deemed to Satisfy (Elemental) and NatHERS pathways can often be achieved through informed\, early-stage design decisions rather than blanket specification increases. \nThis session will unpack what truly drives performance outcomes in both Deemed to Satisfy and NatHERS modelling\, highlight where project budgets are frequently overspent\, and demonstrate how strategic\, targeted adjustments can deliver compliance efficiently. Attendees will gain practical insight into glazing optimisation\, ceiling fan and QOLA strategies\, and the value of early modelling to guide cost-effective decision-making. \nThe presentation will also provide guidance on communicating clear\, evidence-based compliance pathways to clients and project teams\, helping to align performance goals with budget expectations. \nLearning OutcomesBy the end of this session\, participants will: \n– Identify the highest-impact\, lowest-cost design strategies for achieving 7-Star compliance.– Recognise and avoid common specification traps that lead to unnecessary cost increases.– Apply targeted glazing\, fan\, and QOLA strategies strategically rather than uniformly.– Understand how early-stage NatHERS modelling supports informed design decisions and cost control.– Confidently communicate smart\, cost-efficient compliance pathways to clients and project stakeholders.
