AIB Building & Construction Alliances

The Australian Institute of Building (AIB) enjoys a unique role in within industry, government and other stakeholders given its established role in representing the management of Australia's building and construction industry. This work is coordinated by the AIB-IGL Industry & Government Liaison Committee at a national level.

In order to further the interests of the building profession, AIB has a number of established links with organisations that are able to support the Institute's membership or have an influence on the building profession.  These organisations include:

	ABCB	Australian Building Codes Board
	ACIF	Australian Construction Industry Forum
	ASBEC	Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council
	CFC	Construction Forecasting Council
	CPSISC	Construction & Property Services Industry Skills Council
	Certifire	Certifire Australia
	GBCA	Green Building Council of Australia
	NBSA	National Building & Surveying Alliance
	NZIOB	New Zealand Institute of Building
	NATSPEC	Building Information Systems / NATSPEC
	SAA	Standards Australia

These alliances provide the building profession to make a contribution to the technical, commercial and regulatory environment in which the building profession operates and this work is coordinated through a number of AIB national committees.

Through its relationship with the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) and Standards Australia (SAA), AIB is also a participant in the development of Australian Standards and other documents that support the Building Code of Australia (BCA).

Until April 2008, an alliance agreement was in place with the UK Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) however this agreement came to an end with the downgrading of CIOB-UK's relationship with stakeholders in the Australian building profession.

In order to ensure that its membership benefits from the expertise gained overseas, AIB has built relationships with counterpart organisations internationally .  These relationships are underpinned by the fact that one-third of the AIB membership resides outside Australia.

For further information on AIB's external relationships contact the Chief Executive Officer, Troy Williams, in AIB's national office.
