Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme (BOPAS) is notifying existing accredited companies and quoted customers that our founding member and partner LRQA will now be providing durability and maintenance assessments with immediate effect.
BLP Technical Services, the former provider of these assessments for BOPAS, will provide a professional and controlled run off and closure of all durability and maintenance assessments that are currently in progress. Going forward, BLPTS will continue to provide their latent defect insurance partners and clients with technical audit services.
BOPAS is very grateful for the excellent provision and support BLPTS has provided to the scheme since it was launched in 2013. BOPAS was developed by BUILDOFFSITE, LRQA, BLPTS and RICS as an assurance scheme to address concerns and perceived risks associated with innovative construction. Consequently, BOPAS is recognised by mortgage lenders and wider stakeholders as providing the necessary assurance that properties designed, manufactured and constructed by accredited providers using modern methods of construction (MMC) will be readily mortgageable for a minimum of 60 years.
LRQA already provides assessments of offsite providers leading to BOPAS accreditation in the design, manufacture and construction of MMC.
