What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to amend the Building (Scotland) Act 2003 to introduce strict legal and financial liability for developers who breach approved Building Warrants, grant local authorities robust post-completion enforcement powers against developers, and remove the legal immunity of verifiers who accept Completion Certificates for structurally defective homes, ensuring the burden of compliance never falls on innocent homebuyers.
