Architects transform 1960s London estate


A streamlined security compliance scheme that can cut time and costs for developers, builders, architects and specifiers has been launched by Secured by Design. The National Building Approval (NBA)


scheme is a one-off


contract offering a simplified route to compliance with police security requirements. Under the agreement, SBD will


check if door, window and roof light suppliers working on new build and refurbishment projects comply with all aspects of Approved Document Q and the Scottish Building Standard 4.13 – Security. The scheme, which cost £1 for a three-year term and covers all future


developments in the duration of the contract, is most often used on housing projects but can also be applied to schools, care homes, offices or any other public building under SBD’s remit. Members of the scheme receive


a Secured by Design certificate accepted by Local Authority Building Control Officers and Approved Inspectors as a way of discharging the regulations. Membership also signifies police approval for building security and improves pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) scoring. For further details of the scheme,


a full guide can be downloaded at www.securedbydesign.com or by emailing sbdnba@police-cpi.co.uk
