Create a clear, proportionate and effective regulatory system in which competence can be demonstrated leading to safer buildings.<\/li>\n<li>A thriving business environment \u2014 give good businesses the confidence to grow. Fair payment, responsible procurement and long-term policy certainty can unlock investment, productivity and stronger supply chains.<\/li>\n<li>Skills, workforce and productivity \u2014 build the workforce Britain needs. Invest in apprenticeships, technical education, lifelong learning and the next generation of building engineering professionals.<\/li>\n<li>Energy security, net zero and retrofit \u2014 the cleanest energy is the energy we do not waste. Improve the performance of Britain\u2019s buildings, accelerate retrofit and give industry the certainty to invest in a lower-carbon future.<\/li>\n<li>Healthy buildings \u2014 make buildings part of the solution. Better ventilation, indoor air quality and building performance can create healthier homes, schools, hospitals and workplaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Association maintains that achieving these points and making them practical actions will help to ensure that Britain\u2019s buildings support the government\u2019s goals.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cEnourmous, unrealised potential\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Anna Shephard, BESA president, said: \u201cBuilding engineering services are central to the government\u2019s major growth ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe systems the industry designs, installs, commissions and maintains determine whether buildings remain safe, healthy, comfortable, resilient and energy efficient throughout their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>David Frise, BESA CEO, said: \u201cThere is enormous, unrealised potential in building engineering services. Our companies and our talented individuals are delivering some amazing cutting-edge projects, but we have so much more to offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the right investment and business conditions our sector can help to drive economic growth, support higher levels of health and wellbeing, and provide fantastic job opportunities for present and future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The full manifesto can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebesa.com\/besa-manifesto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found and read here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The government, especially since Andy Burnham has taken office as PM, has promised a big increase to housebuilding practices as he ahs promised the \u201cbiggest council housebuilding programme since the post-war era.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other promises made during the Labour Conference last month include new powers for councils to take back empty homes, and reforms to private renting standards.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about what was promised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/pm-confirms-council-housebuilding-and-uk-construction-support\/166181\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at the conference here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BESA manifesto has been presented at Downing Street, with five recommendations to the UK government to achieve goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":166831,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[712,636,276,572],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-166830","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-besa","9":"tag-engineering","10":"tag-government","11":"tag-housebuilding"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>BESA manifesto presented with goals for housebuilding<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The BESA manifesto has been presented at Downing Street, with five recommendations to the UK government to achieve goals\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/besa-manifesto-presented-with-goals-for-housebuilding\/166830\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BESA manifesto presented with goals for housebuilding\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The BESA manifesto has been presented at Downing Street, with five recommendations to the UK government to achieve goals\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/besa-manifesto-presented-with-goals-for-housebuilding\/166830\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
