Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The essay maintains a clear position that government should create and enforce building rules, and it offers some relevant points about materials, legal plans and skilled labour. However, substantial discussion of burglary systems and national housing materials drifts from structural safety, while language errors frequently weaken precision. Focus each paragraph on enforceable construction standards and edit sentence structure and collocations carefully.
