Great read from our very own industry expert Paul Nash, highlighting the following: The Building Safety Act has introduced significant changes for the property and construction sector in England, making it imperative for clients to ensure safety at every stage of a building’s lifecycle. Central to this is the concept of the golden thread—a comprehensive digital record of building information that tracks safety, compliance, and accountability from design through occupancy. To meet these new standards, clients must: - Create and maintain accurate digital records - Implement a secure, client-owned, cloud-based system for collaboration - Regularly update and review documentation This "single source of truth" helps improve safety, transparency, and efficiency, making it a critical aspect of compliance under the new regulations.

The Building Safety Regulator has said it will prioritise blocks still covered with Grenfell-style cladding and large-panel system buildings as part of its new inspection regime. While the focus on Grenfell-style cladding and large-panel systems is critical, it's also important for the Building Safety Regulator to ensure that this focus does not lead to the neglect of other safety risks in different types of buildings. A balanced, comprehensive approach that addresses immediate risks while also planning for the inspection and remediation of other potential safety issues is crucial. Prioritising buildings with known, significant fire risks as part of a new inspection regime is a logical and ethical approach, reflecting a commitment to preventing future tragedies and ensuring the safety and well-being of residents. However, this should be part of a broader, dynamic strategy that adapts to emerging risks and incorporates lessons learned from inspections and enforcement actions.
