But I would encourage you to read on because there may be changes happening which could affect the way building work is regulated. And there is an opportunity for your views to be heard Issue 45 - Summer 08 The future of building control As SiteLines goes to press the consultation document from CLG on the ‘future of building control’ is yet to be published. LABC Chief Executive Paul Everall focuses on what both building control surveyors and their clients in the construction industry might be seeking in the consultation process Issue 44 - Spring 08 The power of retail Even though the retail construction sector in the UK is approaching £5 billion per annum, it has an influence that is disproportionate to its size.

What more important role can the construction industry have than that? Issue 38 - Autumn 2006 Facing the future Although the theme of our last issue was sustainability, I make no apology that this one focuses on a related issue, climate change. Few issues can be more important than this, even more so for our children and for our grandchildren than for ourselves. Issue 37 - Summer 2006 Cracking the Code for Sustainable Homes If all goes to plan at the ODPM, the publication of this spring issue of SiteLines should coincide with the introduction of the new Code for Sustainable Homes. Paul Everall, LABC Chief Executive, looks at the background to the new legislation. Issue 36 - Spring 2006 Facing up to the challenge As we move swiftly into 2006, there is no doubt that this year will prove to be a most challenging one, in particular because of the coming into force in April of the new Parts L and F of the Building Regulations.
