Competence and As Built Information and Handover

The Law requires competence and it requires the provision and maintenance of accurate and reliable 'building information' this Half Day course provides excellent direction on both 

• Building Safety Act 2022

• Building Act 1984 and the Building Regulations 2010

• The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 

• The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 

• The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 

The ICC (a Statutory Committee of the Building Safety Regulator) has issued advice for industry to explain the key principles of competence management within an organisation. 

Industry guidance has been developed by the Industry Task and Finish Group (ITFG), that follow these principles and should help organisations understand in detail how to put in place policies, procedures, and processes to meet them. 

Both these documents will be provided to those who complete the course.

Past experience shows that the terms ‘As-Built’, ’O&M manuals’ and ‘Handover’ information are often interpreted in different ways by members of a project team, and that the information being delivered is frequently incomplete, out of date, and/or untrustworthy.

The course explains what those operating a building need by way of information they can trust at the end of any, and all, construction and building works projects. The guidance seeks to clarify what information is needed and the approach to and necessity for quality assurance such that those using the information throughout the occupation phase can rely and trust in it. 

This will include what is required by legislation, and will include information in excess of the ‘as built drawings’, sometimes referred to as the ‘Handover Information Package’.

Who  will benefit from the course?

• Employers - anyone seeking to employ either individuals or organisations

• Those seeking employment, or responding to tenders etc

• Building Managers, Managing Agents and Facilities managers responsible for building safety
