After undergoing the rigorous re-approval process by the regulatory body Construction Industry Council Approved Inspectors Register (CICAIR), which commenced in 2022, Harwood is delighted to announce its successful completion of the comprehensive CICAIR auditing process. This achievement underscores our steadfast commitment to maintaining professional excellence and unwavering high standards.
This license will be valid until 6th April 2024, when CICAIR’s role as regulator of private sector building control will cease as part of the transition to the new regulatory regime, and we will become a Registered Building Control Approver (RBCA) under the Building Safety Regulator (BSR).
David Woodward, Harwood CEO, comments:
“We are obviously delighted with our re-approval and now are fully committed to the transition to the new regulatory regime for Building Control from 6th April 2024. Notwithstanding this, on behalf of the Harwood Board of Directors and all its employees, I would like to thank the CICAIR team for their constant commitment to raising the standards within Building Control, professionalism and the continued support they have provided to the Approved Inspector community throughout the years.
Our industry is highly regulated, and rightly so. As Approved Inspectors (AIs), we should expect to be regularly audited to ensure that we meet the requirements of the relevant legislation and that we can demonstrate high levels of service and competency. We have completed our application with the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) to register as a Building Control Approver (RBCA) and will continue to uphold the high standards we are known for as the new regime comes into effect.”
