(Click and enter username and password)
BCA is produced and maintained by the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) on behalf of the Australian Government and each State and Territory Government. The BCA is a uniform set of technical provisions for the design and construction of buildings and other structures throughout Australia whilst allowing for variations in climate and geological or geographic conditions.
The BCA + Standards provides access to the full text of Volumes One and Two of the Building Code of Australia and also all the referenced Australian Standards (about 150 standards).
Note: the BCA + Standards subscription only provides you with the version of Australian Standards® in force at the time they were referenced in the Building Code. This means that some of the referenced Standards may become out of date during the course of the subscription, although they are still valid in the current BCA edition.
