Letter from HSE - In-Flight HRB Projects

The Building Safety Regulator has asked CABE to circulate the following correspondence so that you can make your clients, or colleagues, aware that new applications for Higher Risk Buildings (HRB) are likely to be delayed or progress more slowly due to the BSR dealing with a number of in-flight HRB projects reverting to their control.

Any questions or enquiries should be directed to the BSR.

Letter from HSE

You may be aware that AIS Surveyors Ltd, a Registered Building Control Approver (RBCA) has ceased to trade. In addition, Assent has not registered to become an RBCA.

We expect over 50 in-flight higher risk building projects will need to now apply to HSE in their work as the building control and stop work until we have validated their applications.  As these are ongoing projects we will prioritise applications for these projects over others, except those for remediation work.

Whilst we have identified a number of these projects, we do not hold a record of all buildings affected.

Please share this information with your members so that developers who have not already been in contact with HSE understand the action they will need to take and to help all developers understand the possible effect of this unexpected, additional workload on their current applications. 

Thank you for your support, 

Issued by BSR Communications at HSE
