Starting December 1, 2023, the Building Commission NSW will assume the responsibility of overseeing the building and construction industry in NSW. Let’s explore the functions and objectives of this recently established commission.

What’s The Building Commission NSW?

The Building Commission NSW is a newly established building regulatory body that consolidates teams from NSW Fair Trading and the Office of the Building Commissioner. This integration aims to offer a unified and cohesive strategy, ensuring confidence in residential building quality in NSW.

Building Industry Capability

Through data, intelligence, analytics, inspections, licensing, accreditation, and enforcement activities. This multifaceted approach aims to cultivate a strong and adaptable building sector that upholds the highest standards of quality and safety.

New Responsibilities

The Building Commission NSW is assuming building and construction-related duties from NSW Fair Trading, including inspections, compliance, licensing, complaints, and policy. This transition is crucial for rebuilding trust and improving capabilities in the construction sector, aligning with the NSW Government’s housing commitments. The team operates statewide, strategically placed in metropolitan and regional areas to ensure a consistent focus on compliance in active construction zones.

We, at Archi-QS, are very excited about this new change and anticipate it to help us in our daily commitment to assist in reestablishing high-quality buildings.
