Cladding remediation programme ‘appears to be unachievable’, NISTA says
Summary
NISTA has downgraded the government’s cladding remediation programme to a red rating, stating that delivery now appears to be unachievable. The warning cites inflation and delays within the Building Safety Regulator as key constraints on progress.
Why it matters
Cladding remediation affects the safety, valuation and marketability of affected residential buildings, so delays can prolong uncertainty for surveyors and their clients. It also signals continued pressure on building-safety timelines and compliance expectations across the sector.
Key points
- NISTA has given the cladding remediation programme a red rating.
- The authority says the programme appears to be unachievable in its current form.
- Inflation is cited as a factor constraining delivery.
- Delays within the Building Safety Regulator are also identified as a problem.
