We recently teamed up with the Housing Industry Association (HIA) for a live iGyro Industry Insights session — a focused 30 minutes on the changes reshaping the industry right now, and what they actually mean for the way you run jobs and prepare contracts.
If you missed it live, the full recording is below. Here's a quick rundown of what we covered and why it matters.

Why we ran this session
Regulation doesn't slow down, and it's rarely written with a busy builder's day in mind. Between National Construction Code updates, contract changes and shifting compliance requirements, it's easy to fall a step behind — and being a step behind on compliance is exactly where risk and rework creep in.
So we brought in the people who live and breathe this: HIA's specialists. The goal was simple — cut through the noise and give builders the practical version of what's changing.
NCC 2025 — what's changing and what to watch
The National Construction Code sets the minimum standards every build has to meet, and each update flows straight through to your specifications, your trades and your sign-offs. HIA walked through the current NCC changes and, more importantly, the flow-on effects for builders on the ground — where the new requirements bite, and what to check before they catch you out.
HIA Contracts Online changes — and how the iGyro integration saves you time
This is the one closest to home for us. With changes coming to HIA Contracts Online, it's a timely reminder of how much time gets lost to double handling in contract preparation.
iGyro's HIA Contracts Online integration is built to remove exactly that friction — your job and client details flow through rather than being re-keyed, so contracts come together faster and with fewer errors. In the session we showed how the integration works alongside the upcoming COL changes, so you're set up to take advantage of them rather than scrambling to catch up.
Building, planning and regulatory updates
Beyond the code itself, HIA covered the broader shifts — building and planning updates, and the regulatory matters that affect how and what you can build. These are the changes that don't always make headlines but quietly change your obligations.
Industry challenges and practical advice
We finished on the real-world stuff: the challenges builders are facing on site right now, and practical advice for staying ahead of them. Less theory, more "here's what to actually do about it."
