Small builders fear exclusion from Green Deal launch

摘要

The government's failure to approve a competent person scheme to support the Green Deal could lock small and medium-sized builders out of the initiative's launch phase, the Federation of Master Builders has claimed. A spokesperson for the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) - which regularly approves competent person schemes - confirmed that a scheme governing the Green Deal would not be decided upon until October. The Green Deal is due to launch that month and for the last few months the FMB has been preparing a pitch for a comprehensive competent person scheme that would allow builders to self-certify all building fabric improvements included in the deal.
