Excellent response to Codewords reader survey

In the May/April issue of Codewords, we asked for your feedback on the publication. We received more than 200 completed surveys. Thanks to everyone who took the time to write to us. Your comments are much appreciated and will help us to make sure Codewords remains relevant to its readers.

The winners of our survey competition are:

  • Alana Reid
  • Alan Jillings
  • Ian Godfrey
  • Denise Civil
  • Kurt Plank

Our winners will get a free subscription to the new Compliance Document website, as soon as it is launched. In the meantime, we'll send them each hard copies of the recently updated Building Code and Compliance Schedule Handbooks, together valued at more than $100.
