CRL and Capita Building Standards are working together to support housing associations, contractors and developers to reduce latent defects in new build development projects.
On Thursday 30 June, the final day of the CIH Housing Conference in Manchester, CRL’s Head of Risk Management Carl Nelson shared a platform with Chris Jones, Director at Capita Building Standards, at an Ideas Exchange seminar.
The Ideas Exchange session examined how housing associations can benefit from a combined Building Control and Warranty Inspection service and how building control and warranties can work together for the benefit of the sector.
Together CRL and Capita Building Standards are working to revolutionise building control and streamline building regulations and structural warranty services for the public and private sector.
CRL is Capita Building Standard’s preferred warranty policy provider due to their vast experience in working with a wide range of clients including architects, builders, housing associations, developers, quantity surveyors.
At present the client has the choice of either selecting separate Building Control and Warranty Inspection or joint inspections.
Earlier this year Capita Building Standards agreed to share information with CRL through their client portal to provide a streamlined approach to building regulations and warranty services for their joint public and private sector clients.
The portal provides a ‘one-stop shop’ for building regulation and warranty services that revolutionises the building standards procedure. It provides all clients with access to building standards related services, offering complete transparency of the building regulations application and inspection process. This enables clients to monitor progress of their applications from submission through to the completion of their project.
Carl Nelson, CRL’s head of risk management said: “It was fantastic to be holding a seminar at the CIH Housing Conference that was targeted directly at the requirements of housing associations and their contractors.
“We are looking at developing long term relationships with housing associations who are undertaking new build development projects and their contractors and developers.
“CRL and Capita Building Standards understand the issues they are facing and we want you to be able to benefit from a combined building control and warranty inspection service.
Chris Jones added: “When times and budgets are tight, it’s essential to access quick and concise advice and support wherever you are. Working with CRL we can add significant value to your business, your projects and your teams. Together we are working to revolutionise building standards.
“We are streamlining building regulations and structural warranty services for the public and private sectors.
