From our Scotland branch
Join our us, for this free, online event delivered by the Scottish Government Building and Safety Standards Directorate in collaboration with the IFE Scotland branch, CIOB, and RICS.
This session will provide an overview of the SBA approach, with an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and engage in discussion with the delivery team.
Overview
The Single Building Assessment (SBA) was introduced by the Scottish Government through the Housing (Cladding Remediation) (Scotland) Act 2024 in response to cladding safety following the Grenfell Tower fire. It establishes a consistent, whole-building approach to assess risks to human life arising from external wall systems, including cladding, and to identify any remediation required. The SBA forms a central part of Scotland’s cladding remediation programme, aiming to improve resident safety.
For members of RICS, CIOB and IFE, this online workshop, hosted by the Scottish Government, will provide an overview of the SBA framework, including its purpose, scope, and assessment methodology. Attendees will gain insight into the standards that govern them, and their role in supporting risk-based decision-making and remediation strategies.
