Mr. Hubert Fitzpatrick:

From a CIF perspective, a lot of one-off houses are not actually managed by a builder or main contractor. A lot of them are self-builds. We would certainly advocate that the one-off housing should come within the full scope of the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014, BCAR, which are the standards scheme housing is subject to, so that people would end up with formal certification of compliance. That would certainly be worthwhile. In our view it protects the builder of the one-off house.
