\u201cconsiderable uncertainty\u201d over the regulatory requirements around second staircases in high-rise blocks.<\/p>\n<p>Rick Willmott issued the warning as the industry waits to see if the

\u201cThe implications of the Building Safety Act continue to be interpreted and there remains considerable uncertainty on the government\u2019s evolving regulatory position on high-rise residential construction, which will only lead to the postponement or cancellation of developments while the industry waits for clear and unambiguous regulation.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The government\u2019s current proposal, which went out to consultation last December, is to make residential buildings over 30 metres have a second staircase.<\/p>\n<p>However, the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), councils, architects and disability campaigners are <a

those urging<\/a> this threshold be lowered to 18 metres.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Last month, it emerged that a <a

Wates job in east London had been paused<\/a>, with the government\u2019s failure to make a decision over second stair cases blamed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It comes as developers and contractors get to grips with the new regime under the Building Safety Act, which became law last year but has an 18-month enactment period for all requirements to come into force.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Willmott also revealed that his firm\u2019s bottom line was hit by building safety provisions of \u00a361.8m in its last full-year.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The provisions, lower than last year\u2019s restated figure of \u00a368.2m, were made to reclad property originally signed off as compliant by Local Authority Building Control but \u201cwhere that compliance has been reinterpreted under the post-Grenfell safety regime\u201d, \u00a0according to Willmott.<\/p>\n<p>He warned that Willmott Dixon will look to recover these costs from consultants and subcontractors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe naturally expect to recover a substantial portion of this from designers, fire engineers, supply chain and insurers who, so far, have not faced up to their responsibilities or obligations across those \u2018in scope\u2019 projects,\u201d he said.<span
