Buying from the Construction Industry


Avoiding Expensive Defects


The Construction Clients' Forum is interested in establishing how satisfactory your construction has proved to be over its working life so that:

  • repetition of difficulties can be avoided
  • clients can know how to select the best designers and contractors
  • the insurance industry can be given reliable data and invited to design better insurance products

As a first step clients who have bought office buildings, educational establishments or health service buildings are invited to contribute their experiences, good or bad.

If you are able to provide examples please submit the form below ticking Box 1 (simply point into the middle of the box and click once).

If you are a client of the construction industry or any other category of work and would like to take part in a similar project, tick Box 2.

The latent defects project is undertaken by the Construction Quality Forum with the support of Frank Griffiths Associates Ltd. Both projects are sponsored by the Department of the Environment.
