Recruitment of New Members to the Building Regulations Advisory Committee (26/03/2007)

The Building Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC) advises the relevant Secretary of State on the exercise of their power to make Building Regulations and on other related subjects in England and Wales. The BRAC is an advisory group established in 1962 and is sponsored by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG).

Members of BRAC are appointed on a voluntary independent basis to represent particular areas/fields of expertise and experience, rather than as specific delegates of a particular organisation.

Currently, BRAC are seeking members to represent the following six areas on the Committee:-

• Architecture

• Consumers

• Local Authority Building Control

• Needs of disabled people

• Property owners

• Sustainability

Details of the vacancies, including a role specification and a person specification for each of the six new members, are available from the BRAC website www.communities.gov.uk/brac.

The closing date for applications is 16 April 2007.
