Save millions of pounds in remediation costs

Building Safety Act 2022 

Builders and developers have a legal responsibility to ensure appropriate materials and workmanship meet the statutory requirements in order to ensure compliance.

Limitations periods have now been extended under the DPA (Defective Premises Act) to 30 years retrospectively for buildings prior to June 2022, and 15 years for claims to building secured post June 2022.

At each gateway, Global provide a mixture of desk top analysis and site visits to ensure that all design and actual build details are compliant, installed correctly and of good workmanship.

Avoid the pitfalls

In line with the proposed Independent Construction Assessor (ICA) framework, Global’s Fire Scrutineer role has developed from the Building a Safer Future Report.

The Fire Scrutineer ensures that at every stage of construction, it is built compliantly in line with the functional requirement of building regulations. Saving both time and money for you and your clients, instilling a great sense of peace of mind that the property is safe for all

Aligns to the stages of the construction process

The Fire Scrutineer records and assesses all aspects of fire safety of the project to show due diligence and provide evidential, auditable records for the O&M manuals, in line with Regulations 38 & 7.

    Stage 1 – Design
    Involves early engagement with architects and designers to review their specifications and fire strategies. This helps to prevent issues and conflicts in the construction stage.
    Stage 2 – Construction

    During this stage of the Golden Thread, regular inspections of workmanships are undertaken to ensure the installations are completed in line with designers/architect’s details, and installed as per manufacturers tested solutions.

    Stage 3 – Pre-Occupation

    Involves the review of all commissioning certificates. This ensures that everything is approved in time for pre-occupation fire risk assessment, along with all documentation required for regulations. This would then be handed over to the Responsible Persons after the building is complete.
