Government to mandate common data standards for single regulator
Summary
The government has said that firms applying to the new Single Construction Regulator will be required to use legally mandated common data standards. The measure is intended to support automated information exchange and improve regulatory processes.
Why it matters
Although aimed at the construction sector, common data standards could affect how information is prepared, shared and verified across building-related compliance workflows. Residential property surveyors may see knock-on effects in documentation quality, regulatory interfaces and future reporting expectations.

- Applications to the new Single Construction Regulator will be subject to common data standards.
- The standards will be legally mandated rather than voluntary.
