Learn & Earn CPD Points
Are you confident you know how to specify Fibre Cement linings for medium and high rise buildings? BGC Fibre Cement can help you learn how to meet all relevant ISO, AS and BCA standards and codes.
Our presentations are designed to run for 1 hour and will gain you 1 CPD point. We have technical experts who have been approved by Refuel to present to you in each state of Australia. BGC is an Australian based construction business and we have been manufacturing Fibre Cement for over 20 years so we have an extensive knowledge of all relevant Australian Standards. We’d like to share that knowledge with you and further your understanding of Fibre Cement, its qualities, benefits and how it can meet your specification requirements.
