The House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee, chaired by Baroness Taylor of Bolton, has launched an inquiry into building safety regulation, with a particular focus on the work of the Building Safety Regulator, which was established following the Building Safety Act 2022.
The Committee is seeking evidence from building industry specialists, housing associations, architects, resident groups, safety experts, local authorities and other relevant stakeholders on a number of questions.
FIS has prepared the following response to questions posed by the Committee on behalf of our community of over 600 companies operating as principal contractors, specialist contractors, designers and product suppliers in the fit-out, finishing and refurbishment of buildings of all types.
