Rosie has been translating, untangling and occasionally questioning building rules since the 1990s - and founded Building Networks in 2000 to help make sense of it all. She loves nothing more than taking a complicated compliance issue, pulling it apart and asking the question: “But what does this actually mean in practice?” Expect a practical day, plenty of discussion, a few challenges to the status quo - and probably a laugh or two along the way.
