Cladding Safety & Remediation

At MAF Associates, we understand the critical importance of cladding safety in the current construction landscape, especially in the wake of heightened regulations and scrutiny following high-profile safety incidents. Our expertise in Cladding Safety and Remediation includes comprehensive support for applicants seeking to navigate the complexities of the Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS).

The Cladding Safety Scheme plays a vital role in facilitating funding for cladding remediation projects to enhance safety in residential buildings. As part of the application process, proposers are required to provide specific documentation, including an up-to-date Fire Risk Assessment for External Wall Systems (FRAEW) accompanied by a PAS 9980 appraisal. These documents are essential to demonstrate compliance and safety standards.

Our team at MAF Associates comprises highly qualified and experienced chartered fire engineers who specialise in cladding safety and remediation. We are well-versed in the requirements of the CSS and can offer invaluable assistance throughout the entire application process, ensuring that you meet all necessary criteria and deadlines. Our support includes:

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with an in-depth assessment of your building’s current cladding system and safety status. This helps us identify any specific issues that need to be addressed before moving forward with the CSS application.
2. Preparation of Documentation: Our team assists in preparing the required documentation, including the FRAEW and PAS 9980 appraisal. With a thorough understanding of the technical requirements, we ensure that all submissions are comprehensive and compliant.
3. Application Management: We guide you through each stage of the CSS application process, providing strategic support and advice at every step. From gathering necessary information to submitting the application, our team works diligently to streamline the process and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.
4. Expert Insight and Guidance: Our chartered fire engineers are equipped with the technical knowledge and experience necessary to navigate the complexities of cladding safety regulations. We provide insights into the latest industry standards, helping you understand how to effectively address any potential safety concerns.
5. Remediation Strategy Development: In addition to application support, we can also assist in developing a comprehensive remediation strategy tailored to your building’s specific needs. Our commitment to safety ensures that the proposed solutions not only comply with regulations but also effectively mitigate associated risks.
6. Liaison with Regulatory Authorities: As part of our service, we can act as a liaison between you and the regulatory authorities, ensuring effective communication and clarification of any queries that may arise during the application process.

At MAF Associates, our goal is to support building owners and stakeholders in achieving compliance with cladding safety regulations while prioritising the safety and well-being of residents.
