Regulation of Providers of Building Works and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022

Public bill · Government · Presented

Creates a new national register for building work providers and sets minimum standards, qualifications, insurance, and ongoing training for anyone who wants to carry out building work. It also sets up a complaints system, inspections, sanctions, and an appeals process, so poor practice or work done outside a person’s registered category can be investigated and dealt with. The wider title shows it would also change several other laws, including rules on nursing home support, residential tenancies, and approved housing bodies, but the main purpose is to tighten regulation of builders and improve confidence in the construction sector.
