The Building Products Industry Council (BPIC), Lendlease, GS1 Australia and DesignPave hosted an exclusive briefing for over 100 building products industry managers and executives about how to deal with a rapidly changing building product supply chain regime. The audience was challenged to re-evaluate its approach to sales, marketing, product testing, certification, and regulatory compliance processes. Attendees heard about the insurance and regulatory pressures that are forcing specifiers to require more robust compliance and general product data, in new formats and timeframes from product suppliers.
