The Federation of Master Builders’ (FMB) announced the creation of the new Construction Licensing Task Force at their Summer Reception in the House of Lords earlier this month. This is a mandatory licensing scheme for all UK construction companies to transform the sector into a high quality and professional industry.
Liz Peace CBE, Chair of the Construction Licensing Task Force and chair of the AHF [Alliance member], said: “Mandatory licensing has the potential to transform our industry into a world-leading sector. Licensing will help drive up standards and help address the issue of quality and professionalism, which is some areas, is falling short. At the heart of what we’re trying to do is increase protection for the ordinary person who engages with the construction sector.”
