The budget sets aside £1 billion to remove dangerous cladding, signaling that building safety remains a top priority. For contractors, especially those handling remediation work or fire safety improvements, there could be a wave of new projects on the horizon.

Why It Matters

  • Project Opportunities: Funds for cladding remediation could translate into more work for qualified firms.
  • Increased Scrutiny: Safety regulations may get even tighter, requiring thorough documentation of your methods and materials.

Action Steps

  1. Brush Up on Regulations: Make sure your team understands the latest guidelines and best practices for cladding removal.
  2. Build Your Credentials: If you’re not already certified for certain remediation tasks, now’s the time to upskill.
  3. Market Your Expertise: Highlight your safety record and experience in building remediation to stand out in tenders.
