Single Building Assessment Specification Task and Finish Group: final output and recommendations - March 2024
Following the first Single Building Assessment (SBA) Task and Finish Group, a successor group was established. This March 2024 report sets out the issues the successor group discussed, where resolution was agreed, and recommendations for progress and next steps.
Introduction
At a September 2023 Ministerial Roundtable with Homes for Scotland and Developers, Minister for Housing recommended the creation of a short-term Single Building Assessment (SBA) Task and Finish Group with the remit to address the outstanding issues around the SBA process which require resolution to enable progress with the Scottish Safer Buildings Accord Developer contracts. This Group concluded in December 2023, submitting an output report and recommendations to the Developer Contract Negotiation Group.
Following the success of the first group, a successor Group was established (terms of reference - Annex A) to engage with those in the sector to address unresolved issues and inform the development of the SBA specification (Annex B). This paper provides an overview of this Group.
Jennifer Veitch, Deputy Director Cladding Response Operational Delivery, chaired the Group. The same Developers and organisations were engaged and undertook to address the outstanding issues in a methodical and focussed manner:
- AESG
- Avant Homes
- Barratt Homes
- Buro Happold
- Homes for Scotland
- Keepmoat Homes
- Miller Homes
- Persimmon Homes
- Stewart Milne Group
- Taylor Wimpey
This paper sets out the issues the successor group discussed, where resolution was agreed, and recommendations for progress and next steps. Any decisions on those recommendations can only be made by Ministers.
