Managing Cladding Remediation in Occupied Buildings

 

Cladding remediation can involve scaffolding, prolonged access requirements, noise and extensive work around residents and occupiers. Careful planning, communication and site management are essential throughout the programme.

​

Advance Communication
Residents and occupiers are kept informed of planned works, access requirements and activities likely to cause disruption.

 

Safe & Protected Access
Entrances, walkways and communal areas are carefully managed, with safe access maintained wherever practicable.

 

Considerate Working
Disruptive activities are planned around the use of the building, with consideration given to residents, neighbours and the surrounding area.

​

Clean & Organised Sites
Scaffold zones, entrances and working areas are kept orderly, with regular housekeeping throughout the works.

 

Programme Coordination
Access, specialist trades and sequencing are carefully coordinated to keep the remediation programme moving efficiently.

​

​

Remediation, Compliance & Quality Control

Cladding remediation requires more than simply removing and replacing the external finish. The works need to follow the agreed design, specification and inspection requirements, with each stage properly coordinated and recorded.

 

Design & Specialist Coordination
We work alongside the project’s designers, fire consultants, surveyors, manufacturers and specialist subcontractors to coordinate the agreed remediation solution.

​

Materials & System Control
Products and components are coordinated against the project specification, with relevant technical information and installation requirements managed throughout the works.

​

Insulation, Cavity Barriers & Fire-Stopping
Specialist elements within the external wall build-up are coordinated and installed in accordance with the agreed design and manufacturer requirements.

​

Inspection & Photographic Records
Key stages of the works can be inspected and recorded as the façade is opened up and reinstated, providing a clear record of the completed work.

​

Quality Checks & Snagging
Installation is monitored throughout the programme, with defects and outstanding items identified and addressed before completion.

 

Handover & Project Records
At completion, project documentation, inspection records, product information and relevant handover information are brought together for the client and project team.
