Describes the different types of problems that may be associated with precast reinforced concrete houses. Points out that when the home information pack is introduced in early 2007 a duty will be placed on inspectors and surveyors to identify houses of non-traditional construction in the home condition reports. The BRE has produced a new and detailed book which covers all types of non-traditional houses (ISBN 1860816975).
