Structural Repairs |
The major capital works projects are subject to review and authorisation of the Building Safety Regulations (BSR) as of April 2024, there was some difficulty with appointing suitable consultants for this, which has now been resolved with sufficient consultants for future. There is also the unknown expectations of the Building Safety Act requirements which has resulted in revised delivery timescales to projects as consideration needs to be given to other works, wider than just the capital works, and this is impacting on getting on-site. The service are working on 2025/26 programme to bring forward applications to BSR and ensure that there is agreed procedures in place to manage these. As a result of the BSR requirements there will be additional works at Wiltshire House which are currently being evaluated at this time. |

This is a new work stream, where both a programme and procurement of contractors is being worked on, meaning that is unlikely that there will be a full spend this financial year.

Condensation & Damp Works |
There continues to be an increase in damp and condensation cases being reported. Spend is being incurred to both combat the initial impacts of damp and mould and provide additional resource to deal with material and structural defects which contribute to damp and condensation. Based on current trends spend at this level is likely to continue until some of the inherent defects in our stock are remedied. The service intends to procure a framework for contractors over the summer period to ensure that value for money is being achieved and spend will be closely monitored through the TBM process. |
