Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Governing bodies are set up by people in industries and are self-regulated. Several professional organisations already exist within the building industry and details of these organisations and their dispute procedures can be found here:

As your case is under appeal by the Council, you could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
