The Building Safety Act (BSA) stands as a beacon of accountability and elevated standards within the construction industry. 📈✅ Learn how this crucial legislation, born from the Hackitt Inquiry, is reshaping building safety from design to maintenance in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/eeWECb_c #Hamilton #BuildingSafetyAct

Building Safety Regulator (BSR) The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) serves as the governing body for high-risk buildings in England, overseeing building control approval applications. Prior to commencing any construction, approval from the BSR is a prerequisite. It is imperative that the design aligns with the functional criteria outlined in the building regulations, a crucial step referred to as planning gateway 2. This ensures compliance and adherence to safety standards throughout the construction process. #BuildingSafety #Regulations

The Building Safety Act is the most transformative piece of legislation for the construction industry in over 20 years. While the Act imposes changes for the industry as a whole, the building control regime for higher-risk buildings are extensive. In this video Edwin Coe’s Head of the Construction, Brenna Baye, discusses the new ‘gateway’ regime – in particular Gateways 2 and 3 – and the impact they have on procurement and construction contracts. https://lnkd.in/eGhn48eC #construction #constructionindustry #constructionlaw #property #buildingsafety
