Its research significantly improved the standards and codes of practice of design and construction of buildings in Australia. In the mid 1980s it was renamed the National Building Technology Research Centre (NBTRC), and in 1988 it was absorbed by the CSIRO, becoming part of the CSIRO Division of Building, Construction & Engineering, where it played a key role in the development of the Building Code of Australia (BCA), first published in 1988.
