The Building Code of Australia

The Building Code of Australia (BCA) is a set of regulations that govern the construction and design of buildings to ensure safety, health, and sustainability. It establishes standards for various aspects, including structural integrity, fire safety, accessibility, and energy efficiency. Designed to protect occupants and the environment, the BCA is part of the National Construction Code, which applies to all new buildings and significant renovations. Compliance with the BCA helps maintain quality and safety in the built environment, ensuring that buildings are safe, functional, and suited to their intended use.
