The World Organization of Building Officials (WOBO) has acknowledged the work of Lovegrove & Cotton for their recent contributions to the International Building Quality Centre (IBQC). WOBO noted the firm’s involvement (in a WOBO update dated 28 March 2024) regarding IBQC guidelines, stating, “WOBO appreciates the work carried out by Lovegrove and Cotton and their recent updates in respect of IBQC.”
Members of the Lovegrove & Cotton team have been instrumental in assisting with the development of the IBQC Risk-Based Building Classification and Mandatory Inspection Guidelines. These guidelines were developed over 18 months, involving collaboration with leading professionals from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany. The guidelines focus on implementing a risk-based approach to building classification and mandatory inspection processes.
On 28 March 2024, three key articles authored by Lovegrove & Cotton were republished by WOBO:
- IBQC Risk-Based Building Classification and Mandatory Inspection Guidelines – Details the collaborative effort in developing these guidelines.
- The New IBQC Risk-Weighted Building Classification and Mandatory Inspection Guidelines – So Compellingly Logical – Discusses the rationale behind a risk-based approach to building codes.
- 15 Core Elements of Best-Practice Building Regulation Highlights the essential components that contribute to effective building regulations.
Lovegrove & Cotton acknowledges WOBO’s recognition and is very grateful. The firm also recognizes the important role that this highly regarded global body plays in advancing good practice approaches to building regulation and building control.
Lovegrove & Cotton will continue to support the development of robust building regulatory frameworks, in line with a tradition of helping to establish good practices in building control dating back more than 30 years.
