Conclusion
We agree that the role of building safety manager and the supply of adequately skilled individuals to fill the role will be critical to the success of the new building safety regime for higher-risk buildings. We also agree that without sight of the competence framework the industry cannot begin to recruit and train individuals to fill the role and that unless the Government publishes the competence framework soon the implementation of these provisions will be seriously impeded.
Paragraph Reference: 158
Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
We agree with the Committee that it is important the Government’s intentions for how key elements of the new regulatory regime will operate are made clear during passage of the Building Safety Bill. It is the Government’s intention to publish further detail on key elements of the new regime, including the Gateways process and construction products before the relevant clauses are considered in committee. We want to work with residents, industry, and Parliament to ensure these regulations are fit for purpose. In publishing these during passage of the Bill, we aim to give Parliament sufficient opportunity to scrutinise and comment on our proposals.
