Is the industry ready for the changes being brought in by the Building Safety Act? Construction Management magazine finds out more in this article: https://buff.ly/3DKkF7N

Strong independent inspections, with enforcement powers are required to fix this broken system. Like Public Hygiene, any site should have the constant thought that someone can visit at any time. Construction in general focus on program, program is budget/balance sheet driven, and the tender process prioritises cost over competence, with specialists asked to do more for less to meet the requirement. Random inspections with penalties are the only thing that will help change rapidly. In terms of fixing all the badly installed work, Rayner would be better allocating some to legislate for real checks and balances.

Understanding New Construction Regulations 🔍 🚧 The pace of change in the construction industry is accelerating, with new regulations aimed at enhancing safety, quality, and sustainability. Just more hoops to jump through, or long-overdue reform? In our sixth Voices in Construction Insight Panel recently, we brought together experts from the construction industry and building control disciplines to discuss this, and you can read the outcome in our article here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e_uZcjme Read up on the latest updates and what they mean for your business - and discover why our panellists were, broadly speaking, supportive of them. #ConstructionLaw #BuildingSafety #SustainableDesign #buildingcontrol #biodiversitynetgain

🏗️ Building Safety: Progress, Pressure, and the Path Forward 🏭 The Building Safety Act (BSA) has transformed how we approach housing safety a shift long overdue. From compliance frameworks to remediation orders, this progress addresses critical gaps. But here’s the question: Are we supporting the experienced professionals tasked with implementing these changes? For many, the volume of new requirements, from golden threads to expanded remediation criteria feels overwhelming. These aren’t just technical updates; they represent a seismic shift in how we operate, often requiring professionals to reinvent processes overnight. 🔍 Key Changes Driving the Industry Forward: * 58 recommendations from the Grenfell Inquiry are reshaping safety standards. * Remediation orders now include buildings over 11m, raising project complexity. * Increased compliance demands call for robust processes and accountability. How Do We Move Forward Together? While these changes are necessary, they should empower—not overwhelm. This is where technology, automation, and AI can help lighten the load: * Streamlining compliance tasks. * Reducing administrative burdens. * Supporting proactive, data-driven safety measures. Let’s Talk: How can we use innovation to balance progress and practicality in building safety? What tools or strategies are helping you navigate this transition?

"While there are undoubted cost implications for developing projects under a new regime, the less-discussed upside is increased value. Assets that can demonstrate full compliance with building safety standards may well be more attractive not only to eventual occupants, but also to investors in search of high-quality assets."  What is the construction cost impact of the Building Safety Act? Despite uncertainty around its delivery, the Building Safety Act is a statutory requirement the industry must learn how to meet. AECOM’s James Barton and Edward Steiger explain the implications of the legislation, look at real-world applications, and offer a notional model for cost increases on a higher-risk building #construction https://lnkd.in/eSsnfChX
