BUILDING RELATED LEGISLATION

Module Outcomes

Practical module covering the National Construction Code 2022 guidelines and essential insurance considerations for builders, focused on compliance, risk management and practical steps to protect projects and business.

• NCC 2022 overview: key structural changes and the Livable Housing Guidelines, with practical implications for new builds and renovations.
• Compliance in practice: how to update processes, documentation and site practices to meet new regulatory requirements.
• Design and documentation: checking drawings and specifications against NCC requirements to reduce rework and pricing risk.
• Insurance essentials: the common insurance products builders need, what each covers, and why appropriate cover matters.
• Buying and managing cover: what to look for in policies, common exclusions and limits, and how claims are typically handled.
• Integrating compliance and cover: aligning business processes so regulatory changes and insurance obligations are reflected in contracts, site systems and risk controls.

Key takeaway: align your processes, documentation and insurance so regulatory change becomes a managed business activity rather than a surprise.
