Building codes

HIA can help you to understand what technical requirements you must know in your day-to-day building work.

Building codes

HIA can help you to understand what technical requirements you must know in your day-to-day building work.

The Building Code of Australia and Australian Standards are a national set of technical requirements for the design, construction, and performance of buildings, plumbing and drainage systems.

The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) is the national body behind the National Construction Code (NCC), WaterMark, and CodeMark Certification Schemes. HIA representatives are on the Board and always ready to let you know how you can stay ahead of what’s next.

HIA’s team of experts are here to help decipher what you need to know about these regulations and codes and keep you up to date with the latest changes to the requirements through our vast library of residential building industry resources.
