I hear some concern voiced in the marketplace about the BRE from time to time. This is largely down to the fact that the former independent testing government-owned body is now a private outfit and very much in the marketplace with ambitious targets to double in size from a £40m to an £80m business. Perhaps it's just jealousy on the part of consultants losing out on big fee-paying jobs? Well, Ian Abley, an architect who runs a think-tank called Audacity, puts forward a case for concern more than just based on envy in this month's Construction Manager. Abley argues that we are expecting too much to have a growing business work a variety of complicated codes and legislation, or as he puts it: "An £80m business should not be built in partnership with government on the back of SAP chaos and code tinkering."
