External Wall Surveys

Understanding EWS1: A Comprehensive Overview

External Wall Surveys, commonly known as EWS1, form a crucial aspect of building safety assessments, particularly for multi-storey, multi-occupancy residential buildings. Originating as a response to the growing concerns about fire safety in the wake of incidents like the Grenfell Tower fire, the EWS1 process involves a detailed evaluation of a building’s external wall systems and cladding to identify potential fire risks.

Why is EWS1 Necessary?

The EWS1 survey is essential for several reasons:
Safety Assurance: It ensures the safety of occupants by identifying and mitigating fire risks associated with external wall materials.
Regulatory Compliance: EWS1 is often a necessary step in complying with updated fire safety regulations and building codes.
Property Transactions: It plays a critical role in the property transaction process, providing peace of mind to buyers, sellers, and lenders about the safety of the building.
