Service · Remediation & project management
Façade remediation and project management.
From a FRAEW recommendation or defect report to completed, documented works: we scope, specify, procure and oversee façade remediation and envelope projects, with quality checked on site at every stage.
What we manage
- Cladding and external wall remediation, including works funded through the Cladding Safety Scheme.
- Defect remediation to curtain walling, glazing, cladding, brickwork and roofs.
- Façade refurbishment and replacement projects.
- Planned preventative maintenance programmes, with costs.
From scope to handover
A remediation project is only as good as its scope. We start from the evidence (a FRAEW, condition survey or defect investigation), confirm what is actually there through intrusive investigations where needed, and develop a proportionate, costed scope.
- Remedial strategy, options and budget costs.
- Specification and design review.
- Tender management and review of contractor bids.
- Coordination of the technical, commercial and programme elements.
- Site quality assurance and inspection throughout the works.
- Handover records, so the completed work is documented for owners, insurers, lenders and the golden thread.
Development monitoring
For funders, purchasers and developers, we inspect façade installation during construction to check it matches the approved design and specification. Issues are identified while they can still be put right on site, rather than after handover.
Why it matters
Most façade problems we see on completed buildings started on site: a missing cavity barrier, a poorly sealed joint, a substituted product. Independent façade expertise during the works is the most cost-effective way to avoid paying for the same problem twice.
Frequently asked questions
Can you manage works funded by the Cladding Safety Scheme?
Yes. We can manage the technical side of CSS-funded remediation, from scope and specification through tender and site quality assurance to handover records.
What is development monitoring?
Independent inspection of façade work during construction, on behalf of a funder, purchaser or developer, to check it is being built to the approved design and specification.
Do you design the remedial works?
We develop the remedial strategy, scope and specification and review the contractor's design, so the works address the actual problem proportionately.
Can you help with planned maintenance budgets?
Yes. We prepare planned preventative maintenance programmes with costs, based on the condition and expected life of each façade system.
