The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government (MHCLG) has commission the British Standards Institution (BSI) to draft a new code of practice for assessors when examining external walls and cladding. This will ensure external wall assessments are carried out to a high and consistent standard, giving building owners clarity on the fire risk of the construction of external walls. The code of practice will help professionals provide consistent, risk-based and proportionate advice on whether remediation of the external walls is necessary. Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) will continue to work closely with government and industry to find solutions to help leaseholders.
