The government has launched a call for evidence to inform future policy on those working in the building professions, trade and occupations.

The call for evidence is structured into five parts: pre-design; design and specification; construction; occupation and maintenance; and cross-cutting issues, themes, and challenges.

Respondents have the choice to complete all parts, or those that are relevant to their area, interest, or expertise. It calls for real-world examples and quantitative data, if possible.

Input is requested from those who work across the entire building lifecycle, including:

• those directly employed in the full range of built environment professions, trades and occupations;
• clients (commercial, public sector and domestic);
• manufacturers;
• education providers;
• those working in adjacent sectors such as insurance;
• legal and financial services and
• professional bodies, trade bodies, statutory regulators, and consumer or representative organisations.
