Abstract

Research on building code development shows that there are critical factors relating to their development, and highlights that code development involves key trade-offs. In this research, we provide new insight into a condition that many countries face and where there is virtually no research. How should countries handle building code development when key trade-offs need to be made between the possible impacts of new technology, changes in the environment and social and cultural issues, and the systems and processes by which these challenges are met. A comprehensive empirical case study of Australia’s building code arrangements and difficulties is presented. This unique data provides insight on the strategies used and difficulties faced by Australia in the review and development of its building codes. Implications for innovative new building code development success are identified.
