Call for Evidence: Strategy for the built environment professions, trades and occupations

Closes 12 Aug 2026

5. Call for evidence

5.1. This call for evidence is structured in five parts, based on the stages of the building lifecycle. Respondents are invited to provide evidence on areas most relevant to their area(s) of focus and expertise. There is no expectation that respondents will answer every question. However, we recognise that many roles span more than one stage, so please reflect on the breadth of your experience in your response and draw links across stages where relevant. You may also cross-refer between answers, where applicable.

5.2. For the purposes of this call for evidence, we are interested in understanding how people and organisations work in the built environment, and how the systems that shape and govern that work influence the delivery of safe, high-performing and sustainable buildings, on time and on budget.
