Good afternoon everyone,
Please find below the weekly update from the project coordinator who is dealing with the building cladding.
As part of our role as project coordinator, we will send out weekly updates to the applicant to advise where we are in the process and what happens next.
Any actions that need to be completed are highlighted in red.
Also, please note that I am on annual leave between 2nd and 4th April. I will not be contactable by phone but will check emails periodically and will respond to anything urgent over this period.
Please ensure that this update is sent to the managing agent who are to distribute to the wider leaseholder/resident community to ensure that all relevant parties are kept up to date with progress, in line with application requirements and code of conduct.
Application Submission Status
The application to the Building Safety Fund has numerous stages, which are outlined below. Please refer to the below explanations in order to identify where we are in the process and what will happen next.
1. Eligibility
This is the initial stage and involves completing the initial eligibility submission, we are required to answer a 70 point online application. These responses have been collated and confirmed as correct with the board and have been uploaded to the eligibility portal along with supporting documents, including the FRAEW, images of the building and confirmation of the height of the building. Eligibility has been confirmed and we have been granted access to the DLUHC portal allowing us to make an application for funding.
1. Stage 1 – legal due diligence
This involves submitting details of the building, the lease, and the legal set up to establish whether the building is eligible legally to receive funding. Stage 1 information is completed and has been submitted. The CSS has acknowledged receipt and is completing their review process. I have asked the CSS to confirm some timelines as to when we can expect this to be complete and I will update once I have some further details on this point.
1. Pre-tender support
In order to carry out a full contract tender submission (as required by the BSF), we will apply for advance funding, known as pre-tender support or PTS. The applicant is required to submit an estimate of costs for the project and advise the BSF how much money we will need now to progress the project to final approval. There have recently been changes within the BSF as to how PTS is calculated and as such the requirements for this stage may well change in the coming weeks.
1. Stage 2 application – full works and costs
As soon as the PTS funding has been received, the applicant will instruct a project manager to proceed with a competitive tender. This will likely take 3 months at least and will provide at the end a fully itemised works programme along with project costs. This will be submitted to the GLA and reviewed internally, along with various appointment documents and key project information. Once the GLA are satisfied with the information they have received, the project will be passed to a cost consultant for final approval. The cost consultant is appointed on behalf of the BSF and is the party with the full and final authority to determine the funding that will be awarded to us.
1. FAB Approval
Once the GLA and cost consultant have interrogated the tender submission and stage 2 application, the project will be passed to DHLUC who will give the final approval at a Financial Approval Board meetings, which are held every fortnight.
1. Signing of Legal Documents
Once final FAB approval has been received, we will be provided with a set of documents which will need to be completed to allow the BSF to release funding to us. We will work closely with solicitors at this stage to ensure that the legal documents are completed correctly.
1. Final accounts
At the end of the project, we will submit final accounts to the BSF and receive a final balancing payment to close out the project.
Next Steps
The following steps are to be completed in the coming week.
1. Wait for CSS to complete stage 1 review
