The National Construction Code (NCC) is the governing document covering all building construction in Australia. The quality of building construction has come into the spotlight and the code is being revised along with increased diligence from State governments to increase building construction and maintenance quality.

Concrete Waterproof Buildings – How do we stop new apartment buildings from leaking, and why will the NSW Design and Building Practitioners Act (2020) get us there?
Presenter: Ross Taylor
This question is on the lips of all apartment asset owners, strata managers, designers, consultants, waterproofers, certifiers, and anyone who is involved with waterproofing of concrete structures. Waterproofing is an important aspect of building construction and maintenance and In NSW, the Building Commission has played, and continues to have a significant a role in ensuring that waterproofing is done to a high standard and in compliance with building codes and regulations.
It’s important for everyone with a stake in concrete apartment buildings, homes, and office blocks to be aware of the waterproofing regulations and standards set by the NSW Building Commission to ensure that their construction projects are in compliance and that their properties are adequately protected from water damage.
