Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996

The Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 is a UK law designed to improve the construction industry by ensuring fair payment practices and providing a framework for dispute resolution. It allows contractors and subcontractors to claim payments for work completed, even in cases where a client disputes the work or payment. The Act also promotes the regeneration of housing and public utilities, aiming to enhance living conditions. By establishing these guidelines, the law aims to protect all parties involved in construction projects, ensuring that work is completed on time and fairly compensated.
