Plans announced for single regulator
Plans for a new Single Construction Regulator have been announced by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, setting out proposals to bring oversight of buildings, products and professionals under one unified system across the construction sector.
The proposals follow the first recommendation of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 report, published in September 2024. The Inquiry called on the government to establish a single regulator to address fragmentation and complexity within the current regulatory framework for the built environment.
