📝BWOF vs. BSSR vs. SSSR
It sounds like Back in the USSR by the Beatles.
But MBIE has announced new rules around Inspection and Maintenance of Specified Systems.
We recommend getting in touch with your BWOF compliance advisors and/or IQPs.
However, some general guidance includes the following:
Further notes:
What to do next? The building owner should supply a BSSR to the local council on the anniversary of the issue of the compliance schedule and publicly display a copy of the BSSR in the building
Tell your Insurer and tenants: If you have a BSSR and SSSR, communicate this to your key stakeholders. This just means there’s no confusion and all is squared away
Any system marked as not working? Council will need to come and check this
Save closed notices: If the building was closed, save any emails or photos of closed signs and ensure that they are included in the logbook
Map the timeline: Where the building was open and/or closed, make a timeline of any details here and include in your logbook for reference
P.S. Rosie and the team at Building Networks are also fantastic to talk to.
