Building Safety and Cladding Remediation

Assisting our clients in achieving building legislation and cladding remediation needs

Our regeneration experience includes the refurbishment of over 50 residential towers. As such, our team has a strong deep understanding of the issues involved in undertaking high rise refurbishment projects which address the fire safety issues arising from external wall systems as well as improving the thermal efficiency of buildings.

Putting safety at the heart of our process

A team full of knowledge and experience
Our Building Safety and Cladding team comprises of Architects, Chartered Building Surveyors and Engineers who work collaboratively with our clients to support them through the complex process of ensuring that their buildings not only comply with relevant legislation, but also provide a safe and sustainable environment into the future and in the most cost-effective manner.

As a leader in the field of sustainable refurbishment of high-rise and high-risk buildings, we have extensive experience of working with residents in situ.

We know the challenges and risks that this can present. We advise clients on the disruption remedial works can entail and we help identify and plan the steps to minimise this.

We think about longevity of the repairs and carefully design the remedial works to make buildings fireproof and futureproof by improving thermal efficiencies and reducing heating bills for residents.
