The Building Safety Act: What It Means for Main Contractors   The Building Safety Act (BSA) has reshaped the role of main contractors, bringing greater responsibility, accountability, and a focus on long-term building safety. Here’s how it’s changing our landscape:   1. Expanded Responsibilities • Plan, Manage & Monitor: Contractors must ensure compliance with updated regulations, maintaining rigorous oversight throughout the construction phase. • Collaboration is Key: Working closely with duty holders like clients and principal designers to ensure cohesive management of building safety risks. • Golden Thread of Information: Maintaining detailed digital records for full transparency and future reference.   2. Enhanced Accountability • Proving Competence: Contractors must now provide evidence of their skills and experience to fulfil rolls effectively. • Compliance First: Ensuring all work meets regulatory standards to uphold safety and quality.   3. Impact on Timelines New Gateway approval processes at critical stages require thorough safety assessments, potentially affecting project schedules—careful planning is crucial.   4. Extended Liability With longer limitation periods for claims related to defects, maintaining high standards of craftsmanship and documentation is more important than ever.   The BSA is a game-changer for our industry, reinforcing the critical importance of safety and accountability. However, the added complexity and extended project timelines present challenges that require strategic planning and adaptability. We feel some refinements to the current process are very likely as the industry continues to adjust. How do you see the BSA evolving in the coming years?
