About this consultation

Over recent months, we've engaged with stakeholders across the building and plumbing sectors to better understand the challenges of using the National Construction Code (NCC) and identify opportunities to improve how it is structured, presented and applied.

We've heard a broad range of perspectives through consultation activities and there is strong support for simplifying the NCC.

This is an opportunity for users to share specific examples and practical suggestions to help us identify what these targeted improvements to the NCC could be.

We want to know more about:

NCC provisions that are difficult to interpret or apply

  • Which specific NCC provisions, clauses or requirements are difficult to interpret, understand or apply in practice?

Repeated Performance Solutions

  • Which Performance Solutions are repeated across similar projects?

  • Could changes to the NCC reduce the need to repeat them?

Further detail on these topics is provided in the key document link below.

Who should participate?

Regular users of the NCC across the building and plumbing sectors, should participate.

How long do I have to provide input?

You will have several months to participate. We will provide plenty of notice before the closing date.
