The BUILDING PRODUCTS INDUSTRY COUNCIL (BPIC) is committed to an Australian building and construction Industry that is safe, competitive, sustainable and meets society’s expectations for quality and performance.
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:
1 - Promoting public and regulatory confidence, growth and innovation in the building product sector.
2 - 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. About 262,000 firms make up the sector and manufacturing, fabrication and installation activity accounts for $67.3 billion in economic activity.
BPIC is a not for profit organisation directed by a Board comprised of representatives from its member organisations.
