Interim Remediation Scheme for Fire Safety Defects in Apartments and Duplexes

The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has launched the Interim Remediation Scheme for Fire Safety Defects in apartments and duplexes built between 1991 and 2013. Administered by the Housing Agency nationwide, this scheme provides full funding for emergency fire safety defect works — including interim measures to immediately enhance building safety — while a broader, statutorily based remediation programme remains under development.

Balconies are often a critical interface in fire safety remediation, as they can contribute to fire spread or be compromised by structural issues. Forte Pespa's expertise in prefabricated, engineered balcony systems positions us uniquely to contribute effectively to remediation projects.

With the Interim Remediation Scheme accelerating fire safety interventions nationwide, Forte Pespa is ready to support safe, efficient, and compliant balcony upgrades that protect residents and add long-term value.
