The Early Engagement Consultancy Service offers you crucial expertise on high-rise developments from the warranty provider’s perspective.
Offering you access to high-rise specialists as early as RIBA Stage 2, Early Engagement Consultancy is a standalone, no-obligation service to discuss risk and compliance in your designs.
Without expert input from LABC Warranty prior to Gateway 2 of the higher-risk building regime, there is a risk plans may not be compliant with warranty standards and would require re-submission to the Building Safety Regulator, causing unnecessary delays.
A significant change to materials or techniques after approval would also necessitate a re-submission of plans to the Regulator, potentially costing months in delays, along with associated costs of re-designing.
Sitting down with LABC Warranty’s high-rise experts ahead of time minimises the chance of these costly delays by including the warranty perspective on your designs at crucial initial stages.
Beyond enjoying the security that regulatory matters will be dealt with ahead of time, our Early Engagement Consultancy Service offers the benefits of design and cost security.
Design certainty – Work with high-rise experts who bring experience gained on a wide variety of high-rise, complex projects to nail down details of design. Together, we can ensure the quality and aesthetics that define your developments are in place, de-risked, and compliant.
Cost security – Knowing which materials and techniques will be required for a project lets your procurement teams race ahead of inflation and shortages to secure everything needed to complete your build.
Regulatory, financial, and design security combined make the Early Engagement Consultancy Service an excellent investment.
Early Engagement is a separate, but complimentary, consultancy service that sits alongside our core Major Project Service offering.
“We have worked closely with LABC Warranty from the start of Boston Road. We aligned our design with the LABC Warranty requirements to ensure compliance.
The Major Projects Service team is proactive and approachable about new issues raised on site, which aided in a smooth process through the design and build stages. It has been a pleasure to work with LABC Warranty on this project.”
