<BR> if I choose to build SB or anything else on my land using my money and resources then the standard of build quality ie if it collapses after a week or stays up for 300 years, is no-one's business except mine.<BR>
<BR>
The UK is awash with standards ... and build quality tends to be woeful. I set my own standards and I have to live with them.<BR>

Standards are a way of agreeing on what constitutes high quality, and in my opinion are necessary to get straw building into mainstream. (I’m commenting on standards in general, I have no idea how ETA works.)<BR>> <BR></FONT></EM><BR> </div></body>
