For now, the focus is on bringing together the information we hold about the Government estate into one place. This work is being coordinated by the Office for Government Property.

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) Infrastructure Management System has been used to determine what Ministry of Defence assets might potentially contain RAAC material based on the period in which they were constructed and their construction type.

Surveys are currently being conducted to identify buildings which may have been constructed with RAAC on Ministry of Defence land.
