Welcome to Foundations and Frontiers
Australia’s first truly tripartite national construction event. As the name suggests, ‘foundations’ symbolises the rock-solid groundings of the industry built over many years, while ‘frontiers’ represent our commitment to pushing boundaries to achieve a more sustainable construction industry.
Be part of a new movement
Brought to you by the Australian Constructors Association, Foundations and Frontiers is driving a new movement to transform the construction industry. This change aims to benefit everyone – taxpayers, asset owners, industry, and, most importantly, those who work in it.
With a unified, national response at its core, the movement addresses the urgent challenges threatening to reverse recent progress. As the industry faces growing pressures to deliver infrastructure on time and within budget, a widening gap between workforce supply and demand, stagnant productivity, and rising costs demand immediate action. Now, more than ever, we need to accelerate this change.
A defining impact of this event extends beyond the discussions on the day. The 2024 gathering was instrumental in shaping Australia’s first National Construction Strategy, targeting four critical areas:
- Procurement
- Workforce
- Data
- Innovation and modern methods of construction
How far can we go in 2025? Join us in driving the future of construction.
Uniting all construction stakeholders
Government, industry and unions, Foundations and Frontiers provides a platform for public and private discussion on the industry’s critical challenges. This is not the usual highly scripted opportunity to preach from the pulpit. Attendees can expect to leave the event exhilarated, having gained valuable insights. Importantly, this event aims to spark tangible change across the industry.
