5 Questions With Peter

It’s very hard to narrow this down, I’ve been extremely fortunate to have had some brilliant experiences during my time with Tremco CPG.

However, I would have to say within the context of my current role, leading our national specifications team, has been really memorable.  It is extremely satisfying to see the progress that we as a collective team have made, and I feel privileged that we have been trusted to contribute to a variety of interesting and challenging projects throughout Australia.

Given how important it can be for the overall performance of a building, I would have to say waterproofing.

Beyond the product technology side of things, there is a real art to the proper design and installation of a waterproofing system, these systems can be immensely impressive when done well.

Over a decade. My background is in engineering, I studied at the University of Technology Sydney, and was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Engineering - Civil Engineering with First Class Honours. I have been involved in the construction industry ever since.

Work closely with your materials supplier. There are so many different product options out there, have collaborative discussions to make sure that the right products are being specified.

Once you’ve got your product selection sorted, focus on getting the basics right. For example, when specifying a waterproofing system, make sure water (both surface and sub-surface) can drain, and integrate redundancy to the overall design. If in doubt, consider engaging a specialist consultant.

Building and presenting our training modules and CPD presentations. We put in a lot of work to make sure that these sessions are educational for all involved. I am passionate about the sharing of knowledge and experience to help collectively improve our industry.
