The Compliance Plan is one of seven work streams being taken forward under the work of the Building Standards Futures Board.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-415 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/building-standards\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/51\/2021\/12\/SchoolBuilding.jpg\" alt=\"School Building\" width=\"208\" height=\"160\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 208px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 208\/160;\" \/>The Compliance Plan Manger role will apply to all \u2018in scope\u2019 high risk building types.\u00a0 The definition of high risk buildings and the level of fines where work is not carried out in accordance with the regulations are also part of the consultation.\u00a0 The consultation closes on 4 February 2022 and can be accessed at <a href=\"https:\/\/consult.gov.scot\/building-standards\/highriskbuildingcompliance\">https:\/\/consult.gov.scot\/building-standards\/highriskbuildingcompliance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Compliance Plan approach was widely accepted when proposed through the 2018 consultation.\u00a0 We are now seeking to define and implement an appropriate and robust assurance regime to demonstrate that the duty imposed on the \u201crelevant person\u201d responsible for certifying compliance with building regulations is being managed at both design and construction stages. \u00a0The proposed Compliance Plan Manger role is intended to provide continuity of management from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>The Construction Compliance and Notification Plan (CCNP) is currently created and issued by the verifier with the approved building warrant.\u00a0 The CCNP identifies the inspections to be notified to the verifier and provides the verifier the opportunity to inspect the work at different stages. The verifier can also agree to the submission of alternative evidence.\u00a0 The Compliance Plan, as proposed, would change this process and would instead require the Compliance Plan Manager, the designer and potentially the contractor to develop the Compliance Plan for submission to the verifier for agreement and issue with the building warrant.<\/p>\n<p>It is proposed that the Compliance Plan Manger will be appointed by the building owner at the design stage on all defined high risk buildings. \u00a0This individual will provide a primary point of contact for the verifier, develop and manage the Compliance Plan, ensure all inspections are facilitated and the Compliance Plan is fully discharged to support the competent submission of the Completion Certificate to the verifier.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, without a fully discharged Compliance Plan evidencing how compliance has been achieved, the verifier would not be able to accept a Completion Certificate submission until all outstanding matters identified under the Compliance Plan had been addressed, thereby enhancing the rigour of the process.<\/p>\n<p>We are considering holding virtual engagement sessions during January and we would like to gauge the need for these.\u00a0 The sessions would provide an opportunity for anyone, who has already considered the proposals, to ask specific queries where additional information would assist them in finalising their consultation response.<\/p>\n<p>Please email <a href=\"mailto:buildingstandards@gov.scot\">buildingstandards@gov.scot<\/a> to let us know if you would find an online Q&amp;A session helpful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The building regulations compliance and enforcement consultation is now open for your views on the development of a new Compliance Plan Manger role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":522,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-building-standards","category-futures-board","category-procedures"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
