How to identify and avoid Non-Conforming Timber Building Products

How to identify and avoid Non-Conforming Timber Building Products

Ensuring the use of high-quality, compliant timber in construction is essential for the safety and well-being of buildings and their occupants. High-quality timber guarantees that our structures are safe, healthy, and built to last, instilling confidence in their performance.

With the fast-growing building industry, the market also receives a wide range of product offerings, which is good but also concerning when the industry receives non-conforming building products. All building work in Australia must meet specific performance and legal requirements. It is important that builders, architects, and engineers pay attention while choosing and using the correct materials and products, whether your building project is a small renovation, major alteration, maintenance of an existing building, or a completely new build. 

The National Construction Code (NCC) serves as our guiding code, and we are here to provide general information to ensure the products you purchase meet your quality expectations, helping you steer clear of any unwelcome surprises during construction or property maintenance.

Following the NCC, non-conforming building products (NCBPs) and materials are those that:

• claim to be something they are not;
• do not meet the required standards for their intended use or
• are marketed or supplied with the intent to deceive those who use them.
