Welsh Housing Quality Standard
The WHQS is a huge investment in housing taking place in Wales over the next few years with the aim of bringing social housing stock up to a new 21st century standard. The total investment is estimated at £3 billion pounds from 2005-2012.
Further information including the ‘More than bricks and mortar’ report, ‘Surviving Transfer’ guide, and the ‘WHQS Plus’ report, can be accessed at: www.whq.org.uk/i2i/about_resources.php
There is a significant opportunity for local builders, engineers and other trades people and companies to provide services for the WHQS investment.
