The construction industry is concerned at the impact the levy will have on prices.
A full regulatory and economic impact statement must be completed before the concrete levy comes into effect.
That's the view of the Construction Industry Federation after the government reduced the levy from 10% to 5%.
That will kick in next September, with the proceeds going towards the Mica Redress Scheme.
Director General of the CIF, Coolderry's Tom Parlon says the proposed changes will only make new houses more expensive:
The concrete levy is a 'blunt instrument' that targets all compliant and non-compliant building companies, which makes no sense, according to the CIF.
Mr. Parlon thinks the government should make those responsible for defective blocks pay the full price:
