If your building has defects, it shouldn't matter what height your building is, how many flats you own, or whether you have moved towards commonhold. You should have permanent consumer protection from all costs associated with remediation. The Building Safety Act has failed as the judgement below shows, the courts can't help you if you are excluded by the Building Safety Act! Only the Earl of Lytton's buildingsafetyscheme.org has the funding available to protect everyone from historic and future building safety defect remediation costs. True consumer protection for blocks of flats without needing to take people to court. Now that would be a permanent Christmas present for all of us in 2024. Or there will be more judgements like the below...

One criticism you see often about Surveyors and Home Surveys in general is that we are often too negative, finding faults where they are none or making small issues seem like a major problems. I am not sure that is completely right but I do think it has a nugget of truth because too many Surveyors don't distinguish enough between defects and deficiencies. This slate DPC is a good example of the difference and why it matters. There is no problem with the DPC (slate is amazing and lasts forever) but the position is not ideal. Current regs require a DPC to be 150mm above ground level (two brick course plus mortar). This is to prevent it being bridged and also to stop water splashing up over the DPC and causing damp inside. Based on that it would seem reasonable to point at that and say "That does not meet the regs and could cause damp so it is a defect, CR3 Further investigations required!". Except of course those regs do not operate retrospectively and also in this case there are no damp problems so is it really a defect? It may not be ideal, it may have the potential to cause a problem but right now it is fine. It is a deficiency but it is not a defect. If I get that wrong and start to treat this like it is a defect the end result is having to suggest to the client that they get the ground around the house dug down by about 100mm just so that DPC will be at the right height. That would be the only way to remedy the defect. Wasted money that my client probably put towards something more exciting like a new kitchen (this house definitely needed one). However, if I take the right approach and treat it like a deficiency then it is reasonable to just make a note in my report of the low height and the potential risk but say it is not currently causing a problem. I could advise the client to take care not to let the ground rise up any higher but no repairs are currently required. No cost, no stress and my client knows how to prevent a problem occurring. #RICS #RPSA #Damp #Defects

On February 8, the Modular Home Builders Association (MHBA) informed everyone of key changes proposed by the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS) for its upcoming 10th Edition building codes. These changes—which threatened tens of millions of dollars in industry opportunities—would have been devastating to the modular industry. Today the BBRS announced that they will strike all the proposed new amendments regarding the modular industry from the 10th Edition and revert back to the 9th Edition language. Through public hearings and a coordinated campaign of written comments, our voices were heard by the Board. HOWEVER, the BBRS is planning to form a workgroup to further study the proposed amendments but have confirmed they will include industry representatives in this group. It was noted by many Board members that the previous study was “one-sided” and “couldn’t be considered as an accurate depiction of the modular industry as industry members were excluded.” Additionally, one Board member stated, “If we’re the only state that is looking to put these extensive restrictions on an industry, we need to reconsider what we’re doing.” The thanks of the entire modular housing industry goes out to Tom Hardiman, the Executive Director and Ken Semler, the President of the MHBA #MHBA Tom Hardiman, CAE Ken Semler
