Abstract
This paper documents the effects of the privatisation of building code enforcement regimes. It notes that privatization is generally accompanied by trade-offs between competing democratic values such as effectiveness, efficiency, accountability and equity and explores the extent to which particular trade-offs might be related to aspects of the design of the regimes in which they occur.
