Technical support

The HBF's Technical Department and the National Technical Committee address a wide range of issues facing the industry. This involves close liaison with the CLG and other relevant organisations, such as the NHBC. The HBF scrutinises proposed changes to Building Regulations and other technical matters and advises members on this, whilst making recommendations to The Government.
