The Office of the Australian Building and Construction Commissioner (ABCC) (20052012) was an independent, statutory authority, responsible for monitoring and promoting workplace relations in the Australian building and construction industry. The ABCC provided education, investigated workplace complaints and enforced compliance with national workplace laws in the industry. The ABCC did this by:
The ABCC was abolished on 31 May 2012, and many of its functions were taken on by a new independent, specialist agency called Fair Work Building & Construction.
The Royal Commission into the Building and Construction Industry was established in August 2001 and tabled its final report in March 2003.
The Royal Commission found that the building and construction industry was characterised by a widespread disregard for the law, cataloguing over 100 types of unlawful and inappropriate conduct.[1]
The Commission also found that existing regulatory bodies had insufficient powers and resources to enforce the law.
The Building Industry Taskforce (BIT) was the predecessor to the ABCC, and was established on 1 October 2002 as an interim body prior to the establishment of the national agency envisaged by Royal Commissioner Cole.
In March 2004 the Interim Taskforce became a permanent taskforce, operating until the BCII Act created the ABCC in October 2005.
Nigel Hadgkiss was the director of the BIT from October 2002 until it was subsumed by the ABCC. On 29 September 2005 the Hon. John Lloyd PSM was appointed as the inaugural ABC Commissioner. ABC Commissioner Leigh Johns took up his appointment on 11 October 2010.
On 16 February 2012, legislation to abolish the ABCC passed the House of Representatives by 71 votes to 70. The legislation passed through the Senate on 21 March, and the agency was officially abolished on 31 May 2012. On 1 June 2012, a new independent regulator, Fair Work Building & Construction, was created to take on many of the functions of the ABCC.
The ABCC could commence civil penalty proceedings against individuals and organisations who engaged in unlawful industrial action.

The Tower at PNC Plaza, a 33-story office building project at the corner of Wood Street and Fifth Avenue in Downtown Pittsburgh, hit a milestone last week: Workers installed the final steel beam for what will become the new global headquarters for PNC Financial Services Group. The buildings construction, which began in 2012 and is scheduled to finish by fall of 2015, will employ a total of 2,500 people, with up to 500 working at any given time.
Its anyones guess whether the hundreds of white collar workers who will eventually take their desks inside will give much thought to how their new workday home, which PNC calls the greenest building in the world, was put together.
Tapping away at keyboards or punching phone numbers inside, theyll be surrounded by thousands of tons of beams and look out through hundreds of huge glass windows that help cycle heat in and out to regulate temperature. Harder to visualize are the precise calculations that went into determining how much that steel skeleton would compress as floors and weight were added, the feats of skill and teamwork employed to drop the pre-fabricated windows weighing hundreds of pounds each into place and the minor miracle of scheduling and trucking that delivered the innumerable individual pieces of the tower to a congested Downtown job site every day, among myriad details.
Post-Gazette staff writer Robert Zullo and photographer Michael Henninger spent weeks detailing the construction of the building so far. Heres what they have seen.

FREEPORT, Maine - The house where L.L. Bean raised a family and started the iconic outdoors outfitter that bears his name is getting a makeover to restore it to its historic state.
The work, which includes repairs and replacement of siding, roof shingles, porch columns, windows, doors and a coat of paint, is scheduled to be reviewed by the Freeport Planning Board on July 9.
The Queen Anne-style Victorian just a few blocks from the flagship L.L. Bean store houses some offices and the company's archives, including a vast collection of original documents, photographs, possessions and products.
The Portland Press Herald (http://bit.ly/1o9d41R ) reports that the project would return the home to its appearance in about 1912.
The house was built in 1888 and bought by Bean and his first wife in the early 1900s.

MERIDEN Members of the School Building Committee unanimously approved measures Thursday to close out roof replacement projects at Nathan Hale and Israel Putnam schools, including spending $5,500 to remove asbestos.
Architect Robert Andrade said the budget for the Nathan Hale work included a hazardous materials survey, but no money for removal.
The survey, completed on May 13, found about 250 square feet of roofing material over the schools boiler room comprised of 3 percent asbestos.
Theres a certain way that needs to be dealt with, Andrade said.
The roofing project at Israel Putnam should be complete by early July, said Architect Thomas Hibbard.
Hibbard said there are a few minor items that will be completed in the next week, including two leaks between the roof and the interior ceiling.
The building committee also approved a series of change orders for the Maloney High School construction project, including the addition of a second wireless internet line, giving the new school 118 wireless hot spots.
The technology from the original design has changed since it was drafted, said building committee consultant Glen Lamontagne.
