A minimum standard is a level of quality or achievement, that is thought to be acceptable as a minimum below which is unacceptable. It may also be related or referred to as acceptable, decent or ethical standards, it may be found in law as a minimum standard of treatment (MST) which refers to an internationaly agreed level in the treatment of aliens or refugees.

In construction the minimum standard may well be outlined in the building regulations or buildng code for the are in question. The common minimum standards (CMS) for construction procurement are government set standrads outlined in the report 'Government Construction: Common Minimum Standards for procurement of the built environments in the public sector'. Although the Government Construction Strategy proposed these should be renamed to Government Construction Standards they are still referred to as the former. .

Minimum space standards, were initially introduced by the UK government in October 2015, with detailed guidance on the minimum size of new homes. In 2021 minimum space standards were updated for general permitted development orders (GPDO) and houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) these then being linked ( and potentially increased ) via a council's local plan.

Individuals in both the private and public sector who wish to be registered building inspectors must in the future meet the same minimum standard criteria to be placed on the register. Registered building inspectors will be able to provide advice to the building control authorities or registered building control approvers, in line with the type of registration they hold. Current “Approved Inspectors” (i.e. organisations) wishing to undertake building control work will also have to meet minimum criteria
