A taste of things to come?
Last year the Government published a paper setting out its thoughts on ‘the future of building control’. A detailed consultation paper is expected shortly which will contain specific proposals for public comment. The outcome could see major changes in the way the Building Regulations are enforced, with proposals ranging from self-regulation on one hand, to increased penalties and new powers to prosecute on the other. Here Dave Baker (pictured), Chief Executive of Robust Details Ltd, gives SiteLines readers his insight into what the future may hold for the Building Regulations

Can we meet the challenge? Linda Towell assesses the views of Sir Michael Latham, Chairman of ConstructionSkills
