Forced Evacuations due to defective building
Imagine being forced to leave your home due to defective construction and being forced to pay crippling remediation costs. This is happening in the UK – which is why we need the Earl’s Building Safety Remediation Scheme.
An investigation by The Sunday Times found that since the Grenfell Fire of 2017 more than 15,000 residents have been forced to leave homes due to fire or fire safety defects.
Only by placing joint and several liability on the developer and lead contractor or their parent companies can we remove the race to the bottom in the construction industry and prevent the below:
