Miller Knight appointed to CHIC Fire and Building Safety framework

Specialist contractor in fire remediation, refurbishment, and compliance-led construction, Miller Knight, has been appointed to the Communities and Housing Investment Consortium (CHIC) Fire and Building Safety framework.

Awarded by CHIC, a not-for-profit organisation, the framework provides a robust procurement route for fire safety and compliance works across the housing sector. Encompassing a wide range of critical fire remediation and building safety services, the framework offers a future-proofed solution to ensure that high-risk residential buildings adhere to the latest regulatory standards, while supporting proactive risk management at all costs.
