FP2030 session about Improved Building Standards

We had a lively debate on 5th July about some of the variety of improved building standards that are available for us to promote, use and choose from with inspired clients and developers to help try to ‘raise the bar’ (and reduce the carbon) of construction whilst the government still does not mandate this! The discussion also wandered to include the statutory levers of Planning Approval and Building Regulations Consent and how Local Authorities could use these to do more and help to simplify the processes - there were some passionate opinions in the room and lots of enthusiasm!
