Construction Connect

09/10/2026

That’s a wrap on Construction Connect 2026.

Brisbane closed out the series today at BCEC. Three cities: Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Hundreds of builders, waterproofers, certifiers, designers and manufacturers were in the same room, working through the issues that actually cause defects and disputes on site.

Thank you to Jenny Phillips and the QBCC for opening the day. Thanks also to every speaker who shared what they’re seeing in the field, and to our sponsors, exhibitors and demonstration partners who showed, live on site, exactly how systems are installed and how compliance is actually achieved.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who gave up a day on the tools or in the office to be there. That’s what makes this work.

KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW.

See you in 2027.

Who’s on the demo stage in Brisbane? Swipe through.

This year was the first time we put our demo partners on a stage, so they could show their systems going in instead of talking about them. Eight live demonstrations, from basements and tanking to membrane testing and tiled surfaces.

Our last show for 2026.

Friday 9 October | BCEC, Grey Street

Phil Finnimore, Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB): Inside NCC 2025 Section F. Where the NCC is heading, and what it means on site.

Ross Taylor, Ross Taylor Associates: NCC Compliance Made Practical.
Turning code requirements into decisions you can make on site.

Maddy Manousaridis, Construction Lawyer: Navigating Risk.
Where liability sits and how disputes actually start.

Sam Parker, ACOR Consultants: Understanding AS 4654:2026.
What the updated standard changes and where it applies.
