Grenfell Tower inquiry: Main firm 'overlooked safety document'
The inquiry heard on Thursday that a copy of the Standard for Systemised Building Envelopes, compiled by the Centre for Window and Cladding Technology, had to be kept on-site under National Building Specifications.
Asked about the guidance by inquiry lawyer Richard Millett QC, Mr Lawrence said:"We wouldn't have had a copy on site. Mr Lawrence said the"sheer amount of information" led to it being missed, but said he was familiar with the"principle" of the guidance but not the"technical part". He said it was up to Rydon's sub-contracted design team including architects Studio E and external wall firm Harley Facades to check that any materials being used on the tower block refurbishment were safe and complied with the regulations.
