The Chartered Institute of Building<\/a> (CIOB) has launched its \u201cImproving Quality in the Built Environment\u201d report, to identify what promotes or prevents delivery of quality in construction<\/h2>\n

The CIOB was joined at a parliamentary reception by a number of MPs and senior industry figures to launch the Improving Quality in the Built Environment report. The event, hosted by Eddie Hughes MP, heard about the outcomes of our\u00a0Construction Quality Commission<\/a>, set up to identify what promotes or prevents delivery of quality in construction and what steps are needed to bring about change.<\/p>\n

Eddie Hughes commented that 30 years ago industry standards were somewhat different but we have now reached a point where a culture of \u201chealth and safety<\/a> is the way we work\u201d and firmly embedded within the sector. He called for those present to support the CIOB\u2019s work, adding: \u201cI want to see that same cultural shift with regard to construction quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Nash FCIOB, Chairman of the Commission, said: \u201cQuality, or rather the failure of quality, is arguably the most important issue facing the construction industry today.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then outlined what the CIOB report focuses on: \u201cOur research identified \u2026 an underlying cultural issue in the industry. Quality was being sacrificed to achieve targets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nash, a CIOB Past President, then spoke of one of the key outcomes of the Commission\u2019s work, the forthcoming Code of Quality Practice: \u201cToday we are announcing the launch of a consultation on the Code.\u201d The intention behind this is to set standards for the industry to achieve and \u201cprovide practitioners with the tools and processes needed to deliver quality on construction projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded by saying: \u201cThere is never an excuse for poor quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CIOB\u2019s Construction Quality Commission was launched in early 2017 in response to a report into defects that led to the closure of a number of Edinburgh schools.<\/p>\n

It was given a new drive following the tragic Grenfell Tower<\/a> fire. The Commission, led by a group of the CIOB\u2019s Past Presidents, worked with members and other industry organisations to identify the main issues with regard to quality in construction.<\/p>\n
