Seventy-two people died in a building where competence and compliance had not been overlooked but ignored. Signed off by people who were not competent to judge the work, against rules they chose not to meet. It was not the only failure of its kind. It was the one the country could not look away from.
Every inquiry, every report, every judgment since has reached the same finding. The people making the decisions were not competent to make them, and no one was checking. The systems built to catch it were looking at the wrong things. At credentials instead of teams, at documents instead of the people producing them, at what was declared instead of what was true.
One question was never asked. Is this team competent to build this building, and can they prove it? STRAND exists so that it is asked on every project, before the building is built, and answered from evidence rather than assertion.
Two questions decide every project now, and they are answered under signature. Is the team competent to do the work, and can that be proved? Does the building comply, demonstrated rather than asserted? STRAND is software that answers both. You email it. It scores competence from evidence and reconstructs compliance from whatever survives, building the record while the work happens.
It assesses competence. It reconstructs compliance. It was built the hard way, deliberately, because the easy way is what got us here.
The Dead, the Prosecuted, the Liable. The same pattern of competence and compliance failure, read three ways. Every entry carries its source. Where a matter is live or unconfirmed there is no link, and the reason is stated.
You are liable for the competence of a team you did not assemble. STRAND scores it from evidence rather than credentials, before the appointment, before the policy, before the loan.
Insurers, warranty providers, lenders, clients, freeholders and leaseholders. Everyone exposed to the competence of the team.
Enter ↗The burden of proof is yours, and assertion will not discharge it. STRAND builds the demonstration continuously, from the design through to occupation.
Dutyholders, designers, contractors and accountable persons. Everyone who must demonstrate the building complies.
