'Just say no' to underfunded social-housing work

Article Abstract:

A report carried out by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA)recommended those involved in designing social housing should take a firm stance against poor quality and shoddy practices by refusing to take on work unless it comes up to the standards set out by the profession. A lack of funding reduces the quality of workmanship involved in social housing, therefore more money is required from both private and public sources.
