The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) has revealed it is extending the deadline for evidence into construction quality.

The call for evidence comes from the CIOB’s Construction Quality Commission, which was set up earlier this year following a number of high-profile failings in construction quality both in the UK and internationally.

In response to stakeholders asking for more time to put together their submissions, the CIOB has now extended the evidence deadline by two weeks to Friday, 15 December.

Chair of the Commission, CIOB Immediate Past President Paul Nash, said: "We’ve received an excellent response so far from both CIOB members and the wider industry to our call for evidence. We have listened to feedback from stakeholders who have asked for more time to put together their responses and so we are pleased to be able to extend the deadline by a further two weeks.

"The findings from the call for evidence will feed into the work of the Commission, which is looking specifically at areas where the CIOB can have a direct influence in improving construction quality.

"I would encourage as many people as possible involved in the built environment to respond to this call for evidence. We welcome responses from the global construction sector, as it is clear that issues of quality are not just constrained to the UK."
