Regulatory Impact Statement: Resetting Fees Prescribed in the Building Regulations 2018

This response from MBV provides feedback to the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) in response to the proposed fee regulations as part of the Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS).

However, we must emphasise the significant pressures currently faced by the construction industry due to rising costs of living and inflation. These economic challenges are affecting all stakeholders within the sector, from developers to homebuyers, and the introduction of unnecessary fees could further exacerbate these financial burdens.
