Federation of Master Builders launched the scheme at the House of Lords yesterday

A plan to make licensing mandatory across the construction industry has been unveiled by the Federation of Master Builders.

An independent research report carried out by consultant Pye Tait which details the benefits of introducing a licensing scheme for the whole construction industry and puts forward a proposal for how it could work has been published by the FMB.

The report, Licence to build: A pathway to licensing UK construction, was officially launched at the House of Lords yesterday and aims to improve both the quality and reputation of the construction industry.
