Strong independent inspections, with enforcement powers are required to fix this broken system. Like Public Hygiene, any site should have the constant thought that someone can visit at any time. Construction in general focus on program, program is budget/balance sheet driven, and the tender process prioritises cost over competence, with specialists asked to do more for less to meet the requirement.

❓Remediation Acceleration Plan: Are We Ready for the Challenge❓   The UK government has issued a clear ultimatum: under the new Remediation Acceleration Plan, all buildings over 18 metres tall must start recladding works by 2027, with a target to make all at-risk buildings safe by 2029.   Additionally, owners of buildings over 11 metres with flammable cladding must complete remediation works or set a completion date to avoid severe penalties.   🏗️ The task ahead is monumental, requiring collaboration across developers, contractors, engineers, and policymakers. Ensuring every tall building meets safety standards is not just a regulatory challenge - it’s a moral obligation to protect lives and communities 🏗️   As industry professionals, how can we accelerate progress while maintaining quality and a safe working environment for the residents living in affected buildings?   Our Building Consultancy team can support you with all aspects to help achieve your remediation aims, providing the highest regulatory compliance standards relating to the amended Building Regulations for all building types, including higher-risk buildings.   Download our PBC Building and Safety Compliance brief or connect with Simon Garrard for expert support 📲   https://lnkd.in/dQtA4kRJ   #PBC #BuildingSafety #ConstructionIndustry #Regulations #Compliance #HighRisk
