Mae Cronfa Pasbortau Diogelwch Adeiladau Llywodraeth Cymru, a lansiwyd ar 30 Medi, yn rhoi cyfle i bersonau cyfrifol ar gyfer adeiladau preswyl amlfeddiannaeth sy'n 11m neu'n uwch fanteisio ar arolwg clir a dibynadwy o unrhyw waith sydd ei angen i sicrhau bod eu hadeilad yn gallu gwrthsefyll tân.


Ers lansio'r cynllun, rydym wedi cael 248 o ddatganiadau o ddiddordeb hyd at 31 Rhagfyr. Mae'r cynllun yn parhau ar agor i ragor o ddatganiadau o ddiddordeb.


Mae'n bleser mawr gennyf gyhoeddi ein bod wedi pennu'r trefniadau contractiol i arolygwyr ac arbenigwyr technegol er mwyn cynnal yr arolygon ar gyfer y pasbortau.


Rydym wedi penodi Adroit Economic Ltd, a bydd yn dechrau ar y gwaith ar 1 Mawrth. Cwmni ymgynghori profiadol iawn yw Adroit, sy'n cynrychioli rhwydwaith mawr o arbenigwyr diwydiant amlddisgyblaethol gydag arbenigedd cydnabyddedig penodol o gynnal arolygon ar gyfer gwaith cyweirio adeiladau. 


Mae hon yn garreg filltir bwysig yn y gwaith o gyweirio diffygion a nodwyd o ran diogelwch adeiladau, gan gynnwys materion yn ymwneud â chladin a diogelwch tân.


Mae gan ddatblygwyr rôl glir i'w chwarae wrth helpu i fynd i'r afael ag unrhyw ddiffygion diogelwch sy’n bodoli er mwyn sicrhau na fydd lesddeiliaid yn mynd i gostau. Rwy’n falch iawn o weld bod nifer o ddatblygwyr eisoes wedi neilltuo arian, ond rwyf o'r farn o hyd fod modd iddynt wneud mwy, ac y dylent wneud mwy.


Caiff y datganiad hwn ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Rwy'n bwriadu gwneud datganiad pellach i'r Senedd gan rannu'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am ein rhaglen waith ehangach ar gyfer diogelwch adeiladau yn ystod y mis nesaf.

The Welsh Government’s Building Safety Passport Fund, which was launched on 30 September, enables responsible persons of multi\-occupation residential buildings, which are 11m or taller, to gain a clear and reliable survey of any works necessary to restore the fire safety integrity of their building. 


Since the launch of the scheme, we have received 248 expressions of interest up to 31 December. The scheme remains open to further expressions of interest. 


I am pleased to announce we have finalised the contractual arrangements for surveyors and technical experts to undertake the passport surveys.


Adroit Economic Ltd, a highly experienced consulting firm, which represents a large network of multi\-disciplinary industry experts with specific recognised expertise in building survey remediation work, has been appointed and will commence work on 1 March. 


This marks an important milestone in the process to remediate identified building safety defects, including cladding and fire safety issues.


Developers have a clear role to play in contributing to addressing safety defects where they exist to protect leaseholders from costs. I am pleased a number of developers have already set aside funds but I continue to believe there is more that can, and should, be done by them. 


This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. I intend to make a further statement to the Senedd with an update on our wider building safety work programme in the next month.
