Abstract The RICS cannot define what a ‘block’ is but the question has come up before in relation to an External Wall Cladding Survey (EWS1). The FAQs at https://www.rics.org/news-insights/current-topics-campaigns/fire-safety/cladding-external-wall-system-ews-faqs states "Each EWS1 form is valid for an entire block / building"<br/>There have been instances of developments of several attached ‘blocks’ with several different postcodes. <br/> <br/>We understand the professionals involved in one case decided that where the blocks are abutted but there is no connecting floors/stairs etc that they are separate blocks – but each case has to be decided on its own merits as they will likely be unique.<br/><br/>An EWS1 form can have multiple postcodes on the same form if the block spans more than one postcode. <br/>
