The new SFG20 Residential Property Functional Set supports transparency on building maintenance safety requirements for all parties in shared and occupied dwellings.
SFG20 is the unique solution for facilities managers and building maintenance teams. It is the web-based industry maintenance standard for building services developed by the Building Engineering Services Association (BESA).
The Residential Property Functional Set is a suite of over 750 maintenance task schedules covering assets and equipment found in the residential property sector.
Steve Tomkins, Head of Business Development for SFG20, says: “Each schedule provides detailed guidance on the maintenance and pertinent regulatory requirements. This ensures optimal preventative maintenance regimes are in place, and that buildings are compliant with the latest legislation, guidance and best practice.”
Safety in residential properties is a key issue in today’s maintenance sector. This new solution from SFG20 offers peace-of-mind for not only for maintenance and facilities teams, but also landlords and building tenants.
The launch comes at a time when safety and maintenance in the residential buildings sector is under particular scrutiny. The new Building Safety Bill (currently in draft form) is the result of Dame Judith Hackitt’s review of UK building regulations. It focuses on ‘higher risk’ buildings for the protection of residents. The Bill covers the design and construction of these buildings, and seeks to assure residents that the buildings they live in ‘are safe and remain so’.
