Building Confidence: Non-Conforming Building Materials, Risk, Accountability and the Future of Australia's Built Environment

Insulation Australasia has released a new video podcast exploring one of the most important issues facing Australian construction: confidence in the products going into our buildings.

The discussion brings together two leading building reform voices, David Chandler OAM, former NSW Building Commissioner, and Bronwyn Weir, co-author of the national Building Confidence report. It is hosted by IA Technical Representative Keith Anderson.

The podcast examines non-conforming building products, product assurance and the role of stronger independent verification in improving building quality, procurement confidence, construction productivity and long-term asset performance.

Topics discussed

• The difference between product conformance and regulatory compliance
• The risks created by non-conforming building products
• Accountability across design, procurement, manufacturing, certification and construction
• The role of independent third-party verification in reducing risk
• Opportunities to strengthen transparency across the building supply chain
