For construction product reform, the direction of travel is clear – it’s time for us all to act

Alongside the anticipated regulatory reform, a change in behaviour is required which sees industry players take greater responsibility for products and materials and be more accountable and transparent, says Amanda Long

The government response to the Grenfell phase two inquiry report and last month’s publication of the green paper confirms its commitment to bring forward system-wide reform of the construction products regime. This removes any doubt about the intention to drive permanent and lasting change in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.

The political will being shown to see this through should be applauded. The tougher stance on compliance and enforcement is much needed and welcomed.
