Futurebuild Australia puts compliance on the agenda
Futurebuild Australia 2026 will include a 60-session education program.

Futurebuild Australia returns to ICC Sydney from 11 to 13 June as builders, project managers and specifiers face growing compliance pressure.

The event will bring together more than 15,000 design and construction professionals, more than 250 exhibitors and a 60-session education program focused on the decisions now influencing current and upcoming projects.

Compliance moves earlier in the project cycle

The NCC 2022 amendments, including 7-star NatHERS, whole-of-home energy budgets and updated Section J provisions, are still being worked through across the industry. At the same time, the Design and Building Practitioners Act has shifted accountability for everyone who signs off on a project.

NSW Building Commissioner James Sherrard will open Futurebuild Australia on 11 June with a session focused on building standards and compliance obligations. His address will examine where those obligations sit and how project teams can manage them before issues reach construction or certification.

NSW Minister for Building Anoulack Chanthivong will also speak at the event, offering insight into the state’s housing delivery roadmap as planning reform, land release and construction capacity remain central to delivery.

The event will feature more than 250 exhibitors.

The specification gap

One of the less-discussed effects of the NCC 2022 uplift is that some products and systems that complied two years ago may no longer meet current requirements. For design and construction teams, the responsibility sits in knowing the difference before those choices are documented, procured or installed.

Futurebuild Australia will address this through an exhibition floor covering materials, façade and envelope systems, structural and prefabricated components, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), electrification, smart building controls and digital delivery. Exhibitors will include technical specialists who can help project teams test product choices against current requirements before documentation is finalised.

Delivery, prefabrication and what’s working

Damien Crough of prefabAUS will present efficiency data behind prefabrication adoption, including where it is and isn’t delivering on program promises. Landcom’s Lucy Sharman will address how government development is embedding sustainability requirements that flow through to private sector supply chains.

Dr Ali Nezhad from Boral will look at what material decisions will matter most for projects breaking ground in the next 12 to 24 months, while Liam Wallis of HIP V. HYPE will cover what net zero delivery costs and how residential teams are making it work.

CPD at scale

Futurebuild Australia will feature more than 60 sessions, with CPD-accredited content delivered in partnership with the Australian Institute of Architects and included free with a trade pass.

The program will run across concurrent streams alongside the Better Buildings Summit and Future Homes Summit, both free with registration.

The concentration of accredited content across three days offers teams a practical way to access technical learning in one location.

A market moving fast

The product decisions, compliance obligations and delivery strategies discussed at Futurebuild Australia reflect the pressures Australian construction is expected to navigate over the next three to five years.

For construction firms working through changing requirements, the event offers direct access to the technical advice, industry discussion and product knowledge now shaping project outcomes.

When and where: 11–13 June, ICC Sydney
Cost: Entry is free for industry professionals before 11 June
Register: futurebuildaustralia.com.au
Summits: Better Buildings Summit and Future Homes Summit – both free with pass.
