Scottish Safer Buildings Accord: developer remediation contract
The Cabinet Secretary for Housing has written to developers inviting them to sign a contract committing them to remediate unsafe buildings which they developed.
Overview
The Cabinet Secretary for Housing wrote to developers on 31 October 2025 asking them to sign a contract committing them to fix unsafe buildings they developed.
The Developer Remediation Contract
This is a legally binding agreement between developers and the Scottish Government. Developers who sign are committing to:
- taking responsibility to identify and assess buildings in scope that they developed or refurbished in Scotland over the 30 years ending on 1 June 2022.
- carrying out certain remediation work as identified in a Single Building Assessment to address any risk to human life that is (directly or indirectly) created or exacerbated by the building’s external wall cladding system.
- keeping owners and residents of these buildings informed on their progress towards their commitments.
A copy of the contract is attached below.
