The Building Products Industry Council (BPIC) in association with Lendlease are bringing you a one-day intensive event Building Leaders Industry Brief 2020, taking place on February 19 in Sydney.

Building product specification, procurement and certification processes are undergoing rapid change in response to building failures, insurance and regulatory pressures.

This briefing will provide critical information about what is happening and is presented by leading building CEOs and decision-makers.

This event is focused on building product supply chain changes occurring as a response to the professional indemnity insurance crisis hitting design professionals, flow-on regulatory changes in the wake of recent building failures, and the implementation of the Shergold and Weir report.

Our industry needs to re-evaluate its approach to basic processes like product testing and certification, sales, marketing and regulatory compliance. Insurance and regulatory pressures are forcing specifiers to require more robust compliance and general product data, in new formats and timeframes.

This industry briefing will help you understand the drivers behind the changes, identify the potential roadblocks and issues, as well as provide you the insights necessary to develop new strategies that seize the opportunities this disruption is presenting.

2020 is all about dealing with a rapidly changing building product supply chain regime. The objective of the Building Leaders Industry Brief 2020 is to provide you with critical sales, marketing and technical insights from Australia’s thought-leaders to help you map out a strategy for increased sales in a volatile construction market.

You’ll learn how the building products industry needs to re-evaluate its approach to sales, marketing, product testing, certification and regulatory compliance processes. You’ll hear about the insurance and regulatory pressures that are forcing specifiers to require more robust compliance and general product data, in new formats and timeframes from product suppliers.

Some of the agenda highlights include:

• Shergold & Weir implementation update
• Effect of the insurance crisis on the building product supply chain
• What evidence of suitability are specifiers now demanding?
• The changing nature of product testing, certification and acceptance
• The legal implications for product suppliers flowing from recent building failures
• How quality construction is creating opportunities for suppliers
• How product suppliers can help building surveyors verify the integrity of buildings
• Making products ‘stick’ to projects using digital technologies
