Feedback

• Insightful session, thank you. The anonymous questions throughout were engaging and I was interested in reading other contributors thoughts.Very ins

• "A large amount of information, very professionally presented, presenters are very clearly experts within their sector.

• Would be very interested in fire specific training opportunities."

• Thank you all for your time. I got some great takeaways that I can apply to other areas outside of the build/design stages . 

• Some great information and slides. Lots of information to take in would be great to have a copy sent over to refer back for any info missed. Thanks

• Great webinar, extremely insightful.

• Really good and useful session!! Thank you all for all of your efforts and organisation!! Key takeaways for me are around competencies holistically, and making sure I become more competent around structure for my role. It would be good to have more sessions in future covering the same topics but maybe in different and/or more specific areas.

• An excellent introduction to the subjects

• CCP, competence framework,structural case studies 

• Great all round, I can't fault anything!

• Overwhelming amount of compliance concerns for lay people and I include myself. I fortunately have a little knowledge aware to where to go to for answers. There is a requirement for ‘building  compliance for dummies’ ! 

• Main takeaway - How interconnected and complex this area of work is becoming. Feedback - Great session looking forward to more particularly the case study discussions. Thoughts - still lots to do with internal and external partners.

• Good talk.

• "There is a lot to cover in the course material and people are busy in the day job!.  

• How will the courses be packaged into manageable sections. "

What is the most significant competence challenge you face? 

• Cecking contractors and sub contractors Ch

• Cost doesn’t mean competence 

• Understanding my requirements of the BSA for managing buildings 

• Coordinating the work of multiple disciplines across our organisation

• Client understanding of their duty 

• Ensuring my competency covers all areas of my role.

• Evidencing competence 

• Verifying competence past qualifications/competence statements

• Resources and training

• Keeping Records. 

• Higher Risk Buildings

• Contractors that have scope/size to carry out more complex projects.

• I’m new to the role in building safety, but I would say that, in general, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to source reliable and competent contractors these days

• The most significant competence challenge I currently face is balancing the increasing technical and regulatory complexity of projects with the need to maintain delivery pace and stakeholder confidence.

• The most significant competence challenge I face is ensuring I maintain sufficient technical competence across structural, fire, and building safety disciplines to make informed project decisions whilst coordinating multiple stakeholders and delivering programmes within time, cost, and quality constraints. Continuous learning and collaboration with subject matter experts are essential to managing this challenge effectively.

• Evidencing competence beyond  qualification. How to 'score' SKEB . Also bringing everyone up to the same level and deciding what that minimum  is

• Ensuring all involved in the delivery and management of building safety are competent

• The industry understanding the competence under CDM and under Building Regs are different and shouldn't be looked at as the same.

​

What is the most significant cultural and ethical challenge you face? 

• We have always done it that way. 

• Challenging competency. Those who hold responsibility to action it don’t care 

• Co ordination within our huge organisation 

• Managing costs with required compliance needs 

• Apathy and Denial of Perceived Responsibility 

• Previous fire service and now housing, "this is how its always been done" or "its the same everywhere"

• Management of budgets/cost and building safety matters

• Challenging contractor competency 

• Not in my current organization but I found the working outside competence get rewarded with promotion and career type benefits, basically gambling if the risk will be realized, to be clear it is not limited to built environment.  The issues is the incompetent then gets rewarded with career accolades because when you are dealing with catastrophic or severe risk likelihood is normally low so "getting away with it" happens more often than not by the nature of the risk, 

• Working in silos

• Getting over established ways of working, reluctance to change

• Costs will always be a driver as there is a finite amount of money availably. The right balance will be the challenge.
