Thank you for getting in touch. We will be in contact shortly.
The CSS will meet the cost of addressing life safety fire risks associated with cladding on residential buildings over 11m in height (11-18m in London).
Keegans are one of the CSS panel of FRA’s and will be working closely with Homes England to ensure the success of this new scheme.
Keegans have the capacity and experience to carry out FRAEW’s and the FRAEW audits. In addition, through the use of our architects and cost consultants, we can provide solutions to remediate your building.
Read the full guidance on Gov.uk to find out if you are eligible and the application process.
For support and guidance on this CSS scheme speak to in-house Fire Safety Engineer Andrew Morrison
What is the latest FRAEW Process?
Following an RICS led cross-industry working group investigation into best practices when reporting and valuing tall buildings within the secured lending arena, a revised standard process has been published together with a revised EWS1 form which was updated to reflect the Government Building Safety announcement, notably the immediate withdrawal of the Consolidated Advice Note (CAN) and the publication of BSI PAS9980:2022 – Assessing the external wall fire risk in multi-occupied residential buildings.
There is a requirement for a fire safety risk assessment of the external wall system to be conducted by a suitably qualified, and competent professional for buildings with a residential floor height above 18 metres (six storeys) and some 4/5 story buildings that have a significant element of external cladding.
The requirements are as set out in the RICS guidance note 'Cladding for Surveyors' - https://www.rics.org/globalassets/rics-website/media/news/news--opinion/fire-safety/cladding-for-surveyors-supplementary-info-paper-1.pdf
