Goal: As part of the Stage 2 full-cycle approach for building your home, these regular meetings have begun so that members can share their designs and lessons learned. The loose format is a member's talk about their home; an expert speaking about some topic; and a Q&A workshop for members to bring their ideas forward or questions about their house design.
Page Structure
We will put the presentations and videos here for each meeting within the week after, and also try to find other talks and material about members' home and collate it here for all to benefit.
Circles and teams
- Sustainable Design Appraisers (SDAs) – help with your design and scorecard
- Building Review Panel (BRP) – if your design meets the standard, BRP stamps your drawings before they go the State planning portal
- Member building meetings - monthly forum for members to design home, learn, include experts and arrange speakers
- Member Building Group – members, SDAs, and experts (Architects, engineers, builders, assessors, designers) to help members with designs
- Members and non-members are welcome

Regular Monthly Meetings on NEV Building Design
One of the popular changes to the building standards was that the current level of support in helping members should be increased, with regular meetings, and communication in various media including in SLACK, in the NELN newsletter and in Despatch emails.
Members are keen to share their designs and are rewarded in our scoresheet for doing this, so these will present opportunities for this, as well as benefits to newer members designing their homes.
