Your next job might ask something different of you.

Maybe it's using a new construction method, or building a home for improved occupant health. Maybe your clients want to incorporate new technology into their home or a non-traditional building material.

If you're interested in what the homes of the future will look like, and what ideas you should get ahead on before they become standard practice, then the 2026 HIA Future Homes Forum is for you.

This is a day built for builders thinking ahead . You’ll hear from experts and practitioners working across sustainability, new and non-traditional materials, healthy homes, modern methods of construction, and practical innovation on site.

Speakers will include:

  • Renowned designer Joost Bakker and architect Frank Burridge, discussing their latest projects, materiality and their approach to sustainable design
  • Jesse Glascott (G-LUX Builders) examining practical applications of new and non-traditional building materials
  • Merylese Mercieca (Blue Eco Homes) on the respiratory benefits of passive homes
  • Clipsal will present the latest research on what customers want from their homes of the future

And more to come!

Winners of the 2026 HIA Australian Greensmart Awards will also be announced on the day, making this an event not to be missed.

If you’re building today and planning the work ahead, it’s a chance to see what’s coming into the industry in a way that’s relevant to site, clients, and delivery.
