The EWS form must be completed by a fully qualified member of a relevant professional body within the construction industry with sufficient expertise to identify the relevant materials within the external wall cladding and attachments, including whether fire resisting cavity barriers and fire stopping have been installed correctly.
The Council cannot approve individual persons who can deliver the EWS1 and cannot advise on who can and cannot complete the EWS1 form/ process. Only qualified chartered members of the relevant professional bodies such as IFE and RICS will have the necessary self-assessed competence AND professional indemnity insurance to carry out this work.
