The single construction regulator will be committed to interoperable data, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) has stated.

In its response to industry feedback on the consultation on the single construction regulator’s role, the MHCLG states: “As respondents noted, the single construction regulator will only be effective if it can rely on findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) information across the whole building lifecycle. Interoperable digital services will therefore form a core part of the single construction regulator’s operating model. They will enable information to be captured once and used in multiple ways: to support regulatory decisions, to reduce unnecessary duplication for users, to strengthen coordination across the system, and to provide a clearer evidence base for assessing whether regulation is working as intended.”

In its response to the consultation, Nima warned that the single construction regulator can only succeed if building data is structured, interoperable and covers the whole lifecycle.
