Overview

The CIBE projectis undertaking a comparative analysis of the context and content of regulations and policies affecting the construction industry inAustralia and analysing the implications of Construction Innovation research on the regulatory and policy framework.

The project team will conduct six themed case studies to explore the regulatory relationships between jurisdictions, and identify barriers for coherent policy-making and productivity gains. The six themed case study areas are:

  1. Training and skill development
  2. Occupational health and safety
  3. eBusiness including 3D CAD and eTendering
  4. Procurement
  5. Environmental sustainability (particularly focussed onenergy and water)
  6. Builders licensing, particularly mutual recognition between states andAustraliaandNew Zealand.
