Building safety should be a priority for any high-rise residential project, and often understanding the requirements of the new Building Safety Act and the expectations of the Building Safety Regulator can be challenging.
Under the new legislation, any owner of a high-rise residential building in England must create, hold and maintain a building safety case, making a report it available to the Building Safety Regulator upon request. This effort to reinforce the prevention of the spread of fire and mitigate the risk of structural failure is a monumental change for our industry.
From the session you will take away game changers on how to prepare for this legislative change. We will simplify these requirements and ask our panel of experts on the front line of building safety, what we need to prioritise, what new measures we must put in place and how to take immediate action.”
