The truth of a product\u2019s performance; the safety or sustainability standards it is required to meet, and the independent verification tied to rigorous assurance this demands, can only be guaranteed digitally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brankley went on to assert that the \u201ccatalogue of catastrophic failings\u201d leading to the tragedy demonstrated how paper-based certifications represented an \u201cunacceptable vulnerability\u201d, as commercial pressures had encouraged the industry to consider safety a secondary concern in favour of profit.<\/p>\n<h3>CARES has welcomed the report&#8217;s recommendations for a new construction regulator<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/industry-reaction-phase-2-grenfell-inquiry-report\/143532\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grenfell Inquiry report<\/a> recommended creating a new construction regulator that would take over all standards, testing and certification processes, a move that would effectively nationalise organisations like CARES.<\/p>\n<p>The CARES organisation has also announced their support for inquiry recommendations such as reinstating a properly resource chief construction advisor and ending the fragmented appraoch between government departments in matters relating to construction supply and building control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/industry-reaction-phase-2-grenfell-inquiry-report\/143532\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ramifications of the Grenfell Report<\/a> reverberate across our industry there will no doubt be a focus on the next stage in this long process of seeking full accountability,\u201d Lee Brankley said. \u201cWhile that is in the hands of others, the opportunity that is now in the hands of those of us who wish to learn from this is to take whatever swift actions we can now that can bring positive change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecure,
