Developer Remediation Contract data release: November 2023

Published 21 December 2023

Applies to England

Developer returns from 31 October 2023 have been analysed for information on individual developer progress. This paper sets out further detail on the individual performance of signatories to that contract in relation to their contractual obligations.

It is split into 5 sections:

1. responsibility for remediation, indicating the total number of buildings in England over 11 metres for which each developer is responsible as a result of the contract, the number that require remediation, the number that developers will be remediating directly, and the number where it is still to be determined if remediation is required;

2. progress with assessments, setting out the number and proportion of buildings that have had an assessment and how many as a result been confirmed to require remedial works;

3. Remediation status, showing the number and proportion of buildings to be remediated by the developer directly and where remediation is yet to start, is in progress, or has been completed;

4. Start dates, showing the number and proportion of buildings that have not yet started remediation, where the developer has identified a date to start on site (at any point in the future or within the next 12 months); and

5. Communication, showing the proportion of buildings for which developers report having made contact with the leaseholders, freeholders or residents, regarding works on their buildings.

Developer-level data notes:

  • 12 developers have 5 or fewer buildings (which may or may not require works) and are grouped together in the ‘Other (combined total for all developers with 5 or fewer buildings each)’ row in the data table, in order to avoid inadvertently identifying buildings with life-critical fire safety defects. This row shows a single combined total for the following developers: Abbey Developments, Allison Homes, Bloor, CG Fry, Croudace, Emerson Group (Jones Homes), Hopkins, Keepmoat Homes, Rowland, Story Homes, Strata, William Davis. These developers remain in the data tables, but data that has been suppressed is indicated by an asterisk by their name (*) in the table.
  • The data table and narrative are based on 50 developers’ quarterly data returns submitted as at 31 October 2023.
  • Data for 3 developers who signed the contract on the 16 November, 29 November 2023 and 6 December 2023 and data for a developer who has gone into administration are not included in this release. Data for the recent signatories will be added to future releases.

1. Responsibility for remediation

Table 1: Buildings and remediation totals by developer

This table shows 3 things, by developer:

  • the total number of buildings in England over 11m for which the developer has accepted responsibility under the contract. This includes buildings they built directly, as well as those built by other companies they have subsequently acquired. This is not the total number of buildings that need remediation: it includes buildings that require no remediation or where this is still to be determined.
  • the number of buildings that have been assessed and found to require remediation and will therefore have works undertaken or paid for as a direct result of the developer remediation contract. This included buildings where the works will be carried out by a government remediation scheme and reimbursed by the developer. This figure is self-reported by developers and differs from the estimated number of buildings with life-critical fire safety risks included in the ​​Building Safety Remediation: monthly data release.
  • the number of buildings that will be fixed by the developer directly, rather than by reimbursing the government for work carried out by a government remediation fund. These are referred to as ‘buildings being remediated by the developer directly’.
  • the number of buildings where it is still to be determined if remediation is required. This is because the data report question ‘Does this building require works?’ was left blank or answered as ‘Don’t Know’. The greater the number of unknown buildings, the more likely the number of buildings requiring works for a certain developer will increase in future. As more assessments are made, this number will decrease.

Some rows in this table are blank. This may be because a developer has signed the remediation contract but does not have any buildings above 11m in height, or because none of the developer’s buildings require works.

Developer Number of buildings for which the developer has accepted responsibility under the contract Number of buildings assessed and found to require remediation Number of buildings assessed and found to require remediation, and which will be remediated by the developer directly (rather than being remediated through a government fund, with cost re-imbursed by developer) Number of buildings it is still to be determined if remediation is required

2. Progress with work assessments

Table 2: Progress with work assessments

This table shows three things, by developer:

  • the number and proportion of buildings in England over 11m for which the developer has accepted responsibility and the buildings have had an assessment*
  • the number and proportion of buildings in England over 11m for which the developer has accepted responsibility and the buildings have not had an assessment*
  • the number and proportion of buildings in England over 11m for which the developer has accepted responsibility and the buildings have been found to require remediation as a result of the assessment. Proportions are based on all building stock
  • the proportion of buildings in England over 11m for which the developer has accepted responsibility and the buildings have been found to require remediation as a result of the assessment. Proportions are based on the subset of buildings which have had an assessment*.

Some rows in this table are blank. This may be because a developer signed the remediation contract but does not have any buildings above 11m in height that are in scope, or because a developer does not have any buildings which require works.

*Assessments include: Either having an External Wall Systems assessment; a non-External Wall System assessment; a Fire Safety Assessment; a Fire Risk Appraisal of External Walls assessment (FRAEW); or a developer has cited that a building requires works.

3. Remediation status

Table 3: Progress with remediation

This table only includes buildings that have been assessed and found to require remediation, and which will be remediated by the developer directly, rather than being completed through a government fund and being re-imbursed (‘buildings being remediated by the developer directly’). Please see table 1 for further details.

It shows, by developer, the proportion of buildings that developers will directly remediate where:

  • remediation has not started;
  • remediation has started; and
  • remediation has been completed.

Some developers have signed the remediation contract but do not have any buildings above 11m in height that are in scope. Similarly, a developer may not currently have any buildings which require works. Therefore, some rows in this table are blank.

4. Start dates

Table 4: Start dates for remediation works

This table only includes buildings that have been assessed and found to require remediation, and which will be remediated by the developer directly, rather than being completed through a government fund and being re-imbursed (‘buildings being remediated by the developer directly’). Please see table 1 for further details.

It shows, by developer, the number and proportion of buildings where works have not yet started (as per the subset of buildings in Table 3) but where:

  • the developer has indicated a forecast start date for works at any point in the future; and
  • the developer has indicated a forecast start date to be within the next 12 months (from 1 November 2024 – 31 October 2024).

Some developers have signed the remediation contract but do not have any buildings above 11m in height that are in scope. Similarly, a developer may not currently have any buildings which require works. Therefore, some rows in this table are blank.

5. Communication

Table 5: Communication with residents and responsible entities

This table only includes buildings that have been assessed and found to require remediation, and which will be remediated by the developer directly, rather than being completed through a government fund and being re-imbursed (‘buildings being remediated by the developer directly’). Please see table 1 for further details.

It shows, by developer, the proportion of buildings where the developer or ‘responsible entity’ has engaged with the leaseholders, freeholders, residents, occupiers or other users regarding works for:

  • Buildings requiring works, including those that have completed remediation
  • Buildings requiring works, excluding those that have completed remediation

Some rows in this table are blank. This may be because a developer has signed the remediation contract but does not have any buildings above 11m in height that are in scope, or because a developer does not have any buildings which require works, or any buildings requiring works which have not completed remediation.
