Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the Answer of 14 October 2024 to Question 6436 on Housing: Construction, whether her Department is (a) monitoring and (b) reporting on the number of residential buildings requiring fire safety remediation that were built with (i) timber-frame and (ii) other modern methods of construction.
Answered by Alex Norris
The department reports on the remediation progress of 11m+ residential buildings with unsafe external wall systems but does not routinely collect data on the structural archetypes of those buildings.
The Building Safety Regulator is responsible for monitoring risk in the built environment and advising government on any action required, in line with their duty under the Building Safety Act to keep the safety and standards of buildings under review.
