Supply Chain Advice Pack: Higher Risk Buildings Retrofit

Introduction

A fabric-first, whole-building approach should be adopted to maximise the effectiveness of retrofit works. It is essential to ensure that competent and accredited professionals are engaged throughout the project lifecycle. Safety and compliance requirements must be integrated at every stage of the project to minimise risks. Resident engagement and clear communication should be prioritised to support successful delivery. Finally, projects should be planned with a focus on long-term asset performance and decarbonisation objectives.
