​​The Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s first recommendation in its Phase 2 report was for the government to create a single regulator that draws together functions relating to the construction industry.

The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) have since published a Single Construction Regulator Prospectus outlining on proposals to reduce fragmentation in how the construction sector is regulated and drive culture change in the industry.

MHCLG are consulting on the outcomes for the regulatory system and objectives for the regulator and CIOB will be responding to this, as well as the subsequent calls for evidence identified in the Prospectus due in Spring 2026.

CIOB's initial response to the Prospectus can be found here and we welcome any further feedback to inform our response.

The consultation questions can be under each Chapter of the Prospectus here and the closing date is 20 March 2026. Please email [email protected] to share any views, or for any further information.
