Addressing the well-publicised build quality issues within the built environment sector is arguably the greatest challenge facing the sector at present. Issues can arise from a lack of on-site inspection leading to inadequate workmanship detailing along with substitution of materials from those originally specified at the technical design stage. Whilst such deviances from original technical design intent can have negative consequences, in relation to building performance, such as a reduction in thermal and acoustic properties, this pails into insignificance compared to potential life safety issues.
