Description: Building Safety Fund (BSF) for the remediation of unsafe non-ACM Cladding Systems (England only) on buildings of 18m or more, in height. For the purposes of the fund, we are allowing a tolerance of 30cm to this measurement so any building with appropriate evidence that their building measures 17.7m or above will be eligible to proceed to application stage. The fund is targeted at removing the financial barriers to increase the pace of remediation, supporting leaseholders facing significant costs in both the private and social sector. For leaseholders living in buildings owned by providers in the social sector, including those in shared ownership properties, funding is to meet the provider's costs which would otherwise have been borne by leaseholders; or where providers financial viability is threatened by the cost of remediation.
DCA (RAG) Amber/Red
DCA text: The Infrastructure Project Authority's Delivery Confidence Assessment rating is Amber/red.This is primarily due to the following factors: The BSF was announced March-2020 and quickly established to support non-ACM remediation. Almost 3,000 buildings registered interest and as in the April data-release (data to 31/03/21), there are 668 registrations that have had eligibility confirmed, where applications are progressing with delivery-partners. The majority of applications not yet accepted or determined are held up due to building owners not submitting sufficient information to proceed with their claims, despite numerous contacts requesting this information. Additionally, 132 social-sector cases are seeking funding for costs that would otherwise fall to leaseholders Original BSF deadlines required applications by December-2020 and projects on-site by March-2021, however feedback from applicants and leaseholders showed many buildings were at early-stages of identifying types of cladding materials and planning necessary works, deadlines were extended by six-months £319.2m had been allocated to 31/03/21, including £77.7m of pre-tender support. On 10/02/21 an additional £3.5bn was announced to further non-ACM Remediation
Start date 2020-03-11
End date 2023-03-31
Schedule text The project end-date is 31 March 2023. This is primarily due to the following factors: With the existing Building Safety Fund deadlines, all projects are expected to start in this financial year, if they have not done so already. We would therefore expect all remediation works to complete by 2022/2023
Baseline £387.03m
Forecast £136.80m
Variance -65.00%
Variance text: The budget variance exceeds 5%. The costs this financial year are lower than expected, mainly due to the fund deadlines changing. These projects are now due to start in 2021/2022.
Whole Life Cost £1,026.03m
WLCost text: The projects Baseline Whole Life Cost is £1026.03m. This is primarily due to the following factors: The baseline whole life cost is based on £1bn fund spread over 3 years with circa £26m of costs to support delivery of the fund. The Secretary of State has committed to a further £3.5bn of funding to support the removal of unsafe non-ACM Remediation, the detail of which is being developed.
