Confidence in the delivery of the government’s cladding remediation programme is low

The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) has downgraded confidence in the delivery of this programme against its 2025 Business Case assumptions from amber to red.  In its Annual Report on Major Projects, published on 13^th July, it said: “This reflects risks to pace and affordability which are constraining delivery against planned timelines, including higher-than-anticipated social housing volumes, Building Safety Regulator constraints impacting progression of works, the need to accelerate delivery through developers and anticipated construction cost inflation.”
