Awaab’s Law
Cornerstone recognises, alongside all involved in the housing management sector, the new law is soon to be among us.
However, our experience continues to show that if we simply embrace the timely requirements within the new legislation, we will make the same mistakes…in a quicker timeframe.
To assist this designated new undertaking, Cornerstone is sharing its knowledge in a new defined framework accessible by all either experiencing or managing the prevailing damp, condensation and mould in our homes.
To readily support timely investigations and guidance for a visual issue, the new app opens with a key “Did You Know?” outline designed to aid all who read through it for immediate recognised undertakings.
In a simplistic yet recognised manner, a number of reported issues can be investigated, confirmed and resolved by embracing understandable reasoning and guidance for many root causes.
And, if this does not work, a selectable Reporting Level can be undertaken, with data submitted to Cornerstone for a unique report being returned.
Would this help Awaab’s Law compliance?
We are all tasked with resolving a problem such that it can only be a gap in knowledge for why these problems continue to be experienced across the UK throughout each year.
Sharing knowledge in a defined, go-to framework will serve to deliver expert guidance aimed at making recognised causations and remediations available to all including trades for a uniform approach.
Awaab’s Law will in the first instance seek timely undertakings for responding, assessing and remediating reported issues and, with assistance available to occupants at the outset, will serve to address the initial timely requirements and reporting protocols.
There is no blame in the process delivery since damp is a physical issue and mould is a symptom of a problem.
Our recognised undertaking will replace this current perspective with:

For a defined way forward, Cornerstone is of the opinion a designated, uniform framework is a major consideration for upholding a consistent approach to these reported problems within an organisation, commencing upon the receipt of a complaint through to its successful and certified remediation.
Why?
Because we recognise the use of moisture metering equipment is not regulated and, in many cases, has shown to be misunderstood in terms of what is being reviewed.
This understanding embraces a host of equipment such that it is our opinion a uniform understanding and approach with key guidance measures to hand will serve to enhance the investigations ultimately leading to improved remediations and repairs.
Cornerstone fully recognises the process of dealing with disrepair claims can and, on occasions, do lead to legal challenges due in the main to a lack of understanding linked to root causes and everyday activities.
Our goal is to support all disrepair cases with unique, independent expert knowledge based on a host of factual undertakings because damp and mould are rarely due to a single issue. Today’s reporting processes indicate a myriad of data gathering since the majority of reported issues embrace a number of root causes and is why many cases have not been fully resolved in the absence of a change in surveying protocols.
Cornerstone will support all interested parties either living, working and learning within affected structures through to landlords, housing surveyors and lawyers dealing with repeated issues.
