The Building Products Innovation Council (BPIC) is the national body representing Australia’s building product associations. BPIC’s members and associated companies directly employ over 200,000 Australians with more than 470,000 employed indirectly. Their collective industries are worth over $54bn annually to the Australian economy.

The Council’s prime objective is to provide unified and coordinated representation of the building products industry to Government and regulators while providing a forum for discussion and information sharing between manufacturers.

BPIC’s mission is to promote the most efficient and innovative use of building products within a nationally consistent regulatory environment and regards the Building Code of Australia as the pre-eminent national regulatory framework for building. BPIC commission’s research into codes, standards and regulations as well as matters of mutual interest to the building products industry, for example on sustainability.

One current project lays the foundation for a national approach to procedures and tools, based on Life Cycle Assessment, that are needed to deliver fair, scientifically sound basis for measurement of the environmental impact of building materials over their life.

This project is led by BPIC on behalf of consortia of ALCAS and BRANZ in partnership with the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research.

The Council is governed by a Board of Directors comprising representatives from the member organisations. Key Personnel:

• David Sharp - Chief Executive Officer
• Glenn Simpkin – Chairman
• Linda Ginger– Sustainability Chair
• Tracey Gramlick – Standards and Regulation Chair
• Kristin Tomkins – Affordability Chair
