With construction and economic activity picking up following the coronavirus crisis, the Australian building and construction sector is returning its focus towards a more familiar crisis, a crisis of confidence. Building defects and flammable cladding remain a significant danger for the sector, with the cost of rectification forecast to soar past $6.2 billion across Australia. As we grapple with these continual challenges, how are we as a sector progressing reform to deliver safe, quality, and compliant buildings?

The 7th Safe Buildings & Defects Management Summit is a must attend event for the entire building product supply chain. In just one day, gain clarity on the latest regulatory changes, best practice for rectification, current landscape for insurance and innovation in façade and building products from key government and building and construction industry professionals.
