Everyone should brace for a lot more of this whether a leaseholder, shared owner or social housing tenant

Many building owners & operators have been in a holding pattern until #FireSafetyAct + #BuildingSafetyAct became law

Some will await secondary legislation & guidance 1/
Some will postpone until the 11th hour - however demand is outstripping supply of labour, goods & services

As a result of #brexit + #covid labour & material costs are more expensive now than 5yrs previous when #Grenfell exposed a #buildingsafetycrisis /2
Additional stressors disrupting global markets increases costs from #suezcanalcrisis to #UkraineRussianWar have sent fuel & material costs sky rocketing, all with oncost, profit & vat at every level.

Literally the shop has sailed & any remediation will cost infinitely more /3

@BldgSafetyReg @SMcPartland @LKPleasehold @michaelgove @libdemdaisy @grenfellinquiry evidenced root cause failures leading to #Grenfell & 000s of unsafe buildings stems @GOVUK

Compounded by mercenary manufacturers gaming @GOVUK system, defective design & construction enforcers missed

Leaseholders should neither pay & be compensated in full 1/
@BldgSafetyReg @SMcPartland @LKPleasehold @michaelgove @libdemdaisy @grenfellinquiry @GOVUK More over @GOVUK purpose built flat guidance stripped out the need for common fire alarms and lead to unchecked waking watch costs falling on residents

Not satisfied @GOVUK looks to industry to resolve this mess but compounding further with #EWS1 making homes worthless /2
@BldgSafetyReg @SMcPartland @LKPleasehold @michaelgove @libdemdaisy @grenfellinquiry @GOVUK Now we see core rebel MPs & @LKPleasholders celebrating @GOVUK #buildingsafetybill which is riddled with issues, lacks secondary legislation or guidance & dependant of developers pledges to fix the #buildingsafetycrisis

@GOVUK has failed to enable the #firesafetyact /3

#highrise #fire in #Milan

This is a bad one the #grenfell2 we have feared - did everyone make it out, do the fire service have it under control & are crews safe.

Press DM for fire expert comments
Informative thread from @g_bonfiglio on the #MilanFire

Astonishing footage

We’re going to l need another rethink in building design to account for wind effect, aerodynamic effect, coanda effect and combustible cladding

Cc @team_greenhalgh @NFCC_FireChiefs @BuildSafeCrisis

Another close call #highrise #fire in #China

Thankfully all residents evacuated safely - this time!
More footage & details on the #ChinaFire in a highrise block

With thousands of combustible clad blocks in the U.K. - families must be deeply worried

@team_greenhalgh @RobertJenrick time to clear the blockers to funding fire safe homes or risk #Grenfell2

When we design buildings we have to consider #firefighting operations

Yes in the primary image that’s fire fighters on the roof level - over 300 we’re involved tackling this #highrisefire

@claddingscanda1 Why?

Legacy concerns over security or arson risks

convenient FOI blocking strategy for an embattled @GOVUK

All of which is ridiculous when national enforcement registers are a) required by law to be in the public domain
b) list full details

@claddingscanda1 @GOVUK Given the sensitivity of this subject matter here are some useful links signposted to allow more informed positions.

Here’s an informative article from @kentfirerescue on enforcement policy & key enforcement considerations.

@claddingscanda1 @GOVUK @kentfirerescue All statutory enforcement agencies are bounded by legislation & a clear regulators code.

Primary legislation- Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act 2006

Secondary The Legislative and Regulatory Reform (Regulatory Functions) Order 2007 (as amended)
