The appointment of David Chandler in August 2019 followed a series of scandals involving unit buildings across Sydney including Opal Tower at Sydney Olympic Park and Mascot Towers in the city's east.

Better Regulation Minister Kevin Anderson on Thursday announced Mr Chandler's office will hire a workforce of up to 15 operational staff.

The team will be dedicated to delivering the state government's building reform agenda.

Up to 60 additional roles will be created to handle auditing, registration and design lodgement.

It's expected proposed building reforms will be among the issues NSW MPs discuss when they resume parliamentary business next week.

The reforms - which include a star rating system to identify and ban high-risk builders with bad track records - are tied up in the contentious Design and Building Practitioners Bill.

The bill has been opposed in a previous form by the Labor opposition and Greens MP David Shoebridge.

It's expected to be brought back to the upper house for debate on February 25.

Mr Anderson said the legislation needs to be passed.

"We want our team ready to go, to deliver the project as soon as possible after that," the minister said in a statement on Thursday.

"We are also making progress on the risk-ratings tool which aggregates builder, designer, certifier and developer data to create a risk and compliance profile for each project."
