Bespoke Technical Risk Management Plan
Targeting specific construction risks
Bespoke Technical Risk Management Plans enhance our Key Stage Inspection service by identifying higher risk areas and setting specific tasks to help prevent defects.
- a more tailored approach to technical risk management for both warranty and building control
- resources and focus are targeted at higher risk areas of construction
- mitigates the risk of defects and improves quality of new homes.
These bespoke plans will include a combination of the following elements depending on the risks identified on a site:
- additional risk-based inspections
- quality Benchmarking of risk-based inspections
- requests for photographic evidence
- additional Joint Virtual Meetings.
The Bespoke Technical Risk Management Plan for your site will be available in your site record book and also on our Portal. We will go through the plan with the site management team at our pre-start meeting.
To simplify the process, all defects found during any type of inspection (key stage, risk-based or intermediate) will be recorded as Reportable Items. This will enable Quality Common Scoring to be applied to all inspections.
Technical risk management tools
This document records the bespoke approach we will take to mitigate the risks of defects and improve quality across the site. It will highlight risks that might require extra inspections and extra meetings.
Joint Virtual Meetings
These are meetings between the site manager, members of the builder’s technical team and our technical specialists. The attendees and frequency of meetings will vary depending on the complexity of the site.
Quality Common Scoring
Applied to all Key Stage and Risk Based inspections, this is the same scoring we use for Construction Quality Reviews.
Quality Benchmark Report
Produced for each high risk areas and where, required, any additional Risk-Based Inspection stages, this report will provide photos and commentary, a score of 1-6 and will highlight good practice and defects.
