It is just go , go , go !

This issue provides a variety of topics – so enjoy the read .
We look at the fifth article in the Strategy 2025 series from IOPSA / PIRB as well as more on Women in Plumbing and the Pledge every company and their staff should understand and accept . The issue of GBV in its broadest sense is worrying and the smallest comment that is offensive can get one into huge trouble .
For those falsely accusing PIRB of not transforming , spend some time on the PIRB dashboard – they are doing better than most !
Terry Smith concludes his interesting and challenging series on the Apprenticeship Journey .
We feature SANS 10400XA and the fact that from architects , all the way along the design and installation chain , we still see small movement on the use of alternative energy as required in the compulsory standard . Our featured project is the stunning AECOM Sol Plaatje University precinct , and IAPMO shares with us their ‘ WE • Stand ’ which is all about water efficiency , something we still are missing in South Africa , despite effort being put in some years ago on our own Water Efficiency Labelling System ( WELS ) programme .
The SA Watermark Star Rating scheme is covered and offers a great opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to gain recognition swiftly .
Have a great month . PA
