Since @Telegraph broke our study about the true cost of #cladding remediation, the response has been overwhelming. Prominent journalists, commentators, leaseholders and influential stakeholders have all signalled their support. But what else has happened? colmoretang.com/news/whats-hap…

📄 An almighty tussle between government and the House of Lords came to a close recently, as an unamended Fire Safety Bill finally became the Fire Safety Act. Here, we have answered some of the key questions about the Act and considered 'What's next?' 💡 colmoretang.com/news/the-fire-…

On cladding: “If a whole bunch of projects kick off in September, you can bet your bottom dollar that you won’t be able to get the materials to do it. The suppliers just won't be able to turn out thousands of square metres of the new materials.” @CNplus 👇🏻 constructionnews.co.uk/supply-chain/c…

Last week we commented in the @Telegraph about how rising material costs and a shortage of labour are driving remediation prices to new highs. Read the full article, below. #cladding #buildingsafety #endourcladdingcrisis www-telegraph-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.telegr…

On the 4th anniversary of Grenfell, the crisis of unsafe cladding continues. Today, we think of those who lost their lives in Grenfell, as well as leaseholders who are currently facing unprecedented bills to keep themselves and their families safe.

More challenges being faced by trapped leaseholders who are finding that banks are ignoring RICS guidance and still demanding EWS1 forms on exempt buildings. Read more ⬇️ #EndOurCladdingScandal insidehousing.co.uk/news/news/mps-…

It’s been over a week since the fire at an ACM-clad development erupted in East London. Thankfully there were no fatalities, but that hasn’t stopped alarm bells ringing as Grenfell tragedy comparisons inevitably appear in the many. shorturl.at/ckGSU #EndOurCladdingScandal

"Is it not now time for those who made money from the developments to step in and provide immediate cash?" Read the full letter to editor from our Chief Operating Officer, Steve Underwood, here 👇 propertyweek.com/feedback/the-t… #EndOurCladdingScandal

"This begs the question: should a lessee be entitled to the same protections we enjoy as consumers of goods? Is the property of ’merchantable quality’, defined as being fit for the purpose for which it was intended – a safe and secure home?"

#CladdingScandal: "Why is it that, almost a year after the government’s self-imposed and totally unrealistic ‘fix-all-by-June’ deadline, very little has been done? There are more excuses from all parties than there are buildings in need of remediation." propertyweek.com/feedback/the-t…

Insurers are bracing for claims after a fire at New Providence Wharf, London. Our COO Steve Underwood comments @InsuranceTimes_: “We need to get this job done quickly to make sure that we steer clear of a second Grenfell disaster.” #endourcladdingscandal insurancetimes.co.uk/news/insurers-…

We featured in the April issue of @CCE_magazine in which we discussed our #cladding remediation expertise, track record of transforming buildings into residential apartments, and how we maintained progress on our construction sites throughout Covid-19. 🔗 issuu.com/schofieldpubli…

With the government’s Building Safety Bill tightening standards post-Grenfell, are there enough knowledgable people to understand - and importantly enforce - new rules? Here, our COO, Steve Underwood, comments 👇🏻 ww3.rics.org/uk/en/modus/bu…

Having priced over 20 typical #cladding #remediation projects in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and The Midlands, our analysis suggests the true cost of remediation could be closer to £50bn, 10x the government's £5bn safety fund. #EndOurCladdingScandal colmoretang.com/news/5bn-build…

Government fund to replace cladding after #Grenfell needs to be 10x larger, says, @colmoretang. Read more at @propertywire. propertywire.com/news/uk/5bn-sa…

The true cost of the cladding crisis is likely to be ❗£50bn❗ That's not a typo. It equates to 1/3 of the annual output of the whole construction industry @ColmoreTang call this their "optimistic view" 👇 #EndOurCladdingScandal

This £50bn figure is significantly higher than the Government's £5bn Building Safety Fund, which has seen mounting pressure on MPs to reassess its size. Read our full announcement and analysis 👇 lnkd.in/esU8znB [3/3]

Having priced remedial projects on >20 developments in Leeds, L'pool, M'cr and The Mids in the last few months, our analysis suggests a total figure closer to £50bn could be required to make every high-rise housing development EWS1 A1 compliant. [2/3]

💷 This weekend, we were in The @Telegraph after announcing that the true cost of the cladding crisis could hit £50bn (+ VAT). [1/3] 👇 #EndOurCladdingScandal #BuildingSafetyCrisis
