The Evolution of Australia's National Construction Code Did you know that the National Construction Code (NCC) of Australia, also known as the Building Code of Australia (BCA), has a rich history dating back to 1988. Initially brought together to create a uniform set of building regulations, it has since evolved into a comprehensive performance-based framework encompassing three key volumes: -BCA Volumes One and Two, and -Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA). Here's a quick journey through its development: 1988: The NCC was first compiled using Ordinance 70 by the NSW Government as a foundation. This was a major step towards unified building regulations. 1991: The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) was established, streamlining efforts to create a performance-based BCA, leading to the BCA96. 2004: Introduction of the PCA as a performance-based code, aligning plumbing standards nationally. 2011: The BCA and PCA were merged into a single NCC, integrating all on-site construction requirements. Despite its national scope, each state and territory adopts the NCC through their legislation, adding layers of complexity to its implementation. Join us at our Construction Connect seminars to dive deeper into the NCC's history and its impact on the building industry. We'll be in Sydney this Friday, 14th June, followed by sessions in Newcastle, Melbourne, and Brisbane. https://lnkd.in/gJmKKRhV Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your understanding and stay ahead in the industry! #Construction #BuildingCode #NCC #BuildingRegulations #Australia #ConstructionConnect

🚨 Building Safety Act: The End of Design and Build? 🏗️ Check out our in-depth video on the IAST channel where we explore the profound impacts the Building Safety Act has on design workflows and competence requirements in the facade industry. 📹 As the industry adapts, understanding the new competence standards and documentation required at various stages—especially for Higher Risk Buildings—is crucial. In the coming weeks, stay tuned for more insights on the Joint Competence Initiative and the evolving landscape of facade engineering. 🔗 Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/ehYB_G3A 📢 Don’t forget to subscribe to the IAST channel to stay updated!

Huge changes underway in the industry! It’s surprising how many people aren’t aware that these changes affect all projects not just high risk buildings. We are supporting clients and consultants in education of the new legal duties under the changes to the building regulations. We can support with CPDs if anyone requires them.

The latest edition of NRF's Real Estate Focus bulletin is now available; in this edition we look at Building Safety Act related changes in JCT construction contracts; cases examining restrictive covenants preventing development; and the new Renters’ Rights Bill which has recently been introduced into Parliament. https://lnkd.in/ekSQ2cV7

Cladding Safety Victoria recently published its report, 'Compliance in Building Design’, following its review and assessment of more than 800 Victorian buildings with combustible cladding products. The Report, which was directed at answering the question about who is responsible for the widespread use of combustible cladding in Victoria, serves to put consultants and building surveyors on notice about their potential exposure in cladding recovery claims. In this article, BN’s Hubert Wajszel and Kate Lawford summarise the key conclusions in the Report and set out some of our key takeaways. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gHrtTmU2

All I seem to do is talk to people about the 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝘁 at the moment and it's requirements, (as I'm one of only a handful of registered Principal Designers for High Risk Buildings in the UK and I'm also on the Assessor Panel for Principal Designers), If you are interested in the Act, how it's impacting the construction industry and the design process, do come along to the next Constructing Excellence Sussex Club Event. It's going to be a good one looking at the impact on the design process (HRB and LRB), Golden Thread implementation, Experience of getting through the Gateways and a legal perspective of the Act.

There’s a common misconception that the Building Safety Act only affects those who construct, design or own higher risk buildings, or those who are involved in cladding works. That's not true. Learn how the Building Safety Act applies to your small building business and what steps should you take. https://lnkd.in/e4_dr2Bt
