What's New?

Do consumers have enough protection when it comes to building work?

The government want your thoughts on a proposal that could improve compliance with building regulations and protect consumers from cowboy builders.

An online survey will be available here until 10th June 2008; it only takes a few minutes to complete.

This survey is part of a wider Building Control consultation - please see below.

Are you a builder, architect or developer?
