In September 2018, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) launched a consultation on a new Plan of Work for Fire Safety. This follows on from the institute’s strong recommendation that changes to Building Regulations be introduced following the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 to strengthen requirements on cladding, sprinklers and means of escape.

The Plan of Work also intends to clarify the responsibilities of those who design, build and manage buildings, by incorporating a ‘best practice process map’ which indicates the deliverables at each lifecycle stage. At an early stage, fire safety considerations will be embedded by closely involving building control, fire and rescue authorities, building managers and tenants.

The draft Plan also includes a new statutory process which is based on the recommendations set out in the Hackitt review of the building regulations and fire safety, final report, and new rigorous review and sign-off procedures by the client team, design team and construction team which are intended to help safeguard fire safe specification and detailing.

It is anticipated that by following the recommended process, project team accountability will be strengthened by following the new statutory duties based on the CDM 2015 model.

RIBA Director of Practice Lucy Carmichael said:

“The Plan of Work for Fire Safety is a vital resource for design and construction teams and building owners, providing much needed clarity on fire safety roles and responsibilities at every stage of the process. We cannot wait for longer term regulatory change to come into force, the construction industry needs immediate guidance.

"I encourage all RIBA members and other industry professionals to provide detailed feedback on this draft document, which we hope will be an important step to further strengthen consideration of fire safety in all aspects of building design, procurement, construction and maintenance.”

The draft document is open for consultation [https://www.architecture.com/knowledge-and-resources/resources-landing-page/plan-of-work-for-fire-safety-consultation here] until 11 October 2018.
