Mr. Hubert Loftus:
Yes, and there are various elements to the certification process. Within a design and build scenario there is the contractor and that contractor's design team. The design team members do the certification with regard to that contractor and we have a project management team with technical support that is involved, based on receipt of the evidence provided by the design and build contractor. Many of these projects predated the building control (amendment) regulations, BCAR, introduced in 2014. There is an assigned certifier involved in more recent projects. The bigger issues we have on these schools predate the BCAR.
