The AAA, in partnership with PowerED™ by Athabasca University, hosted two webinars in early 2020 titled Compliance: Practice Perspectives in Alberta’s Building Design & Construction Industry.

Compliance Webinar Questions and Answers

 The webinar co-presenters collected and answered all questions that were raised during and following the presentation and have presented the answers by topic below. A number of question and answers will be separately added and posted to this location once confirmed by the co-presenter organizations.

Where practical, questions of a similar nature have been combined to streamline the responses. In some instances, the questions have been re-worded to remove any references to specific individuals or organizations to maintain confidentiality. Minor adjustments were made to some of the questions to help articulate their full intended meaning, correct spelling, errors and to remove any potentially accusatory or inflammatory language for the benefit of other attendees. In some instances, clarification was sought directly from the inquirers to confirm the full meaning of the questions.
