The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors said it had agreed the announcement that buildings without cladding did not need the EWS1 assessments, but it added that it would still need to review the government advice before deciding what guidance to issue to surveyors. Sean Tompkins, RICS chief executive, said there had been an "acute market shortage of fire engineers" to carry out the checks. "We are aware of the severe impact this has had on some homeowners and we agree that buildings without cladding should not be subject to the process," he said. Mr Jenrick also said the government was paying to train 2,000 more assessors within six months to speed up checks on blocks which did have cladding. But some cladding experts questioned whether the £700,000 in government funding would be enough. "Do they think they can just give these people a two-day training course for £350?" said Adrian Buckmaster, director of Tetraclad. "You can't train experience in the built environment."
