Individual Competency
Individual Competency has emerged as a key focus from the Grenfell Report and the new Building Safety Act (BSA) regulations. Ensuring that individuals have the necessary Skills, Knowledge, Experience, and Behaviors (SKEB) to perform their tasks correctly is crucial for compliance.
Failing to be able to evidence that competency of the team has been considered could land clients and directors of duty holder companies into hot water. Thankfully, while tasks may vary between companies, design and construction roles share a common base, and duty holder roles are well defined in the British Standard, enabling industry wide systems to start to be developed and become established.
In partnership with Complete Competence we offer services that include reviewing and establishing tailored competency assessment systems that are based on industry wide standards adjusted to align with your company’s own role definitions and be incorporated into your established staff development plans. These systems can demonstrate your team’s strengths, plan personal and professional development, and help identify or hire the right people for your project.
Orgnaisational Capability
Due to the fact that most duty holder appointments are organisational appointments, it is essential for companies to be able to demonstrate the have Organisational Capability to take on the role. This means having the policies, processes, governance and procedures that enable the robust and consistent delivery of the role in place.
This does not only protect the directors of the company from non-compliance, but enables:
- Clients to fulfill their duties and be confident in the appointments they make
- Staff to be adequately supported in the delivery of the role
- Responsibilities and deliverables to be clearly defined
- Fees to be calculated consistently
- Compliance to be met consistently across all projects.
