We are focused on promoting effective policy, advocacy, regulatory reform and outcomes in the Australian building and construction product industries to Federal, State and Territory governments, which is pragmatic, cost-effective, proportionate, and creates a level playing field, across three strategic imperatives:
- Conforming Materials, Compliance and Enforcement.
- NCC, Standards and Regulation.
- Resilience and Sustainability.
BPIC will achieve this by:
- Promoting public and regulatory confidence, growth and innovation in the building product sector.
- Promoting and supporting improved, robust and nationally consistent building and construction product:
- Legislation, regulation, codes and standards.
- Enforcement regimes.
- Labelling and traceability systems.
- Procurement framework.
- Market surveillance mechanisms as well as third-party product certification schemes.
- Substitution controls, non-conforming product controls and controls on the correct use of products.
- Whole-of-building-whole-of-life environmental performance, impact and sustainability assessment framework.
- Health, safety and comfort framework.
- Resilience.
BPIC also represents the interests of building and construction product suppliers within high-level strategic and technical forums.
Building product suppliers directly employ 243,300 people and a further 796,500 indirectly [August 2020]. About 262,000 firms make up the sector and manufacturing, fabrication and installation activity accounts for $67.3 billion in economic activity [year to June 2020].
BPIC is a not for profit organisation directed by a Board comprised of representatives from its member organisations.
