The report's main objective is to
provide policy makers, regulators, and the private sector,
primarily in emerging economies and developing countries,
with a tool for enforcing international best practice and
for developing strategies for successful reforms in the area
of construction regulation. This paper is divided into the
following eight chapters: 1) the importance of construction
regulation reform. The first chapter defines three
overarching goals of construction-regulation reform and
addresses why and how these efforts can pay off; 2) reforms
as good regulation not deregulation. This chapter points out
that deregulating is not the answer; 3) the distribution and
focus of construction regulation reform. Leveraging eight
years of data from the doing business reports, this chapter
provides an overview of reforms initiated within the doing
business scenario and the key regional trends; 4) eight key
policies affecting process efficiency, transparency,
regulatory outcomes, and costs. This chapter provides a
concise description of eight priority policy areas; 5)
initiating reform and addressing typical challenges. Based
on international experience, this chapter focuses on how to
start reforms and covers issues including who should be
involved in construction-regulation reform and how reform
should be sequenced; 6) an overview of best practices. This
chapter summarizes the best practices around four major
issues, namely, building codes, procedures and transparency,
payment of fees, and measures concerning stakeholder
liability and accountability; 7) performance measures and
evaluation of building regulatory systems. This chapter
defines guiding principles for leading the reform effort and
includes a meaningful set of indicators and a framework for
monitoring outcomes; and 8) ten case studies. This chapters
10 in-depth case studies round out the discussion.
