Watertight Specification – Rethinking How We Design and Deliver NZ Façades
This session of Elevation brings leading minds together to tackle a critical challenge: how can we transform specification practices to deliver better façades, faster? With the theme Watertight Specification, the evening will explore the legal, architectural, engineering, compliance, and procurement shifts needed to lift the quality of New Zealand’s building stock. Expect sharp, expert-led presentations and a panel conversation designed to provoke fresh thinking - not just about performance and compliance, but about collaboration, risk, and design accountability. If you work at the sharp end of façade design or delivery, this is where the real conversations will be happening.
