What is the NCC?

Detailed information about the National Construction Code (NCC) and how it works is available under the NCC section of this website.

Individuals can register for access to the free digital NCC by selecting the register button at the top of this webpage. Registrations are for individuals only; there will be no shared access for organisations. Each registration will have its own unique login details based upon a user's email address, which requires verification before access is granted.

What is the free "digital" NCC?

The ABCB's free NCC 'digital' service includes online access to the code from NCC 2016 onward. Printable PDF downloads are also available for all editions which allow for individuals to print all or part of the NCC volumes as required.

Can I purchase a hard copy of the NCC from the ABCB?

No. As of NCC 2015, the ABCB will no longer produce hard copy versions. Instead, users have the option of printing the complete NCC set or individual volumes from PDF files in A4 format. Printing has also been enabled within the online service. Alternatively, individuals can arrange for a copy to be printed through their local print/copy shop for personal use, utilising the downloadable PDF.

Can I get access to previous NCC editions for free?

Yes. All registered users have access to copies of past NCC, BCA and PCA editions. Up until NCC 2015 these are available as downloadable PDF documents whereas both PDF and online formats are available for the NCC 2016 edition.

Can I purchase a hard copy of NCC elsewhere?

Yes. A list of commercial outlets selling the hard copy NCC is detailed in the NCC section of this website under Commercial Providers.
