Future roadmap of big features

We aim to release new features and functionality for subscribers at the start of each season so there is always something new and useful in BIG.

This is what we are introducing in our Spring 2024 release:

Best practice

Better Search and Help

We’ve improved the BIG search so you can find what you’re looking for more efficiently. We have updated the Help guide and added new Reference cards, our quick tips on how to use the Search, DocViewer and Workspace.

Now we have series tags, blue badges in the Search and Workspace which list the most popular Standards series, like AS 1684 and AS/NZS 3500. They will take you directly to the current standards in that series. 

library

New and Updated Content

We have curated and catalogued more library content, including updated NCC documents, resources on the engineered stone ban and plumbing, as well as Australian Glass Group resources.

The 2010 wind classification span tables for AS 1684 have also been reconfirmed and are available in our Timber, NCC and Building Essentials sets.
