OGP developing expertise to identify and prevent future property risks from new construction methods.
Conclusion
We questioned whether government is adequately prepared to prevent future risks, similar to the sudden emergence of RAAC and asbestos, from affecting property unexpectedly. The OGP stated that it has a clear picture of RAAC and asbestos across all of government. It is now bringing together knowledge and expertise in order to better support departments in identifying risks, and that it is important to identify how new methods of construction bring future risks into the estate.21 Property plans
