A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last week at 66 Portland Place and Hilti Great Britain for the Fire Safety Conference: Designing and Specifying for the Building Safety Act.   We hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did!👏 This event brought together industry experts, and you could hear from: 🎤 You could hear from:  Jane Duncan OBE, Nigel Ostime, Paul Bussey, David Brook, Caleb Smith, Ben Oram, Amanda Long, Victoria Millward and Professor Joan McCoy 🎤 Key Takeaways from Industry Experts: - Engage with suppliers and industry bodies - ask them publicly, they want to hear from you - We need improved construction standards – and we need to engage with the industry to improve them - Clients play a key role in assessing project team competency - RIBA is developing a guide - Competency is at the heart of new regulations - both individual & organizational - Become a CCPI Supporter and be part of driving a transformational step-change in the management and marketing of product information - Cultural change takes time. While many architects, clients, and contractors have proactively adapted to these changes, a significant portion - particularly clients and contractors - appear to have limited awareness or engagement. As architects, we have a responsibility to educate and guide them through this transition - A review of procurement routes and the suitability of the design and build approach is necessary, particularly concerning Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs) in light of new regulatory requirements This RIBAJ event was produced in partnership with Hilti Great Britain #FireSafety #BuildingSafetyAct #Architecture #Construction #RIBAEvents #BuildingRegulations
