About this bill
Committee rejects proposal to simplify building codes for cheaper housing
Four MPs—Harry Valderhaug, Jorunn Gleditsch Lossius, Jonas Andersen Sayed, and Jørgen H. Kristiansen—proposed changes to building regulations to reduce construction costs through simplification, removal of unnecessary requirements, and alignment with Nordic standards. The Standing Committee on Municipal and General Administration, with a majority from the Labour Party, Socialist Left Party, Centre Party, Red Party, and Green Party, recommends rejecting the proposal, citing the government's existing work on streamlining building codes.
