Constructing A Safer Future: Building Safety Act White Paper

The Building Safety Act and much of its associated secondary legislation came into force in October 2023. Since then, it has become increasingly clear that the construction industry faces significant challenges in complying with the new legislation.

Our latest white paper, driven by a comprehensive survey of hundreds of construction professionals, highlights a concerning lack of consensus and clarity among industry leaders. The findings reveal that half of industry professionals remain unclear on the responsibilities of duty holders for the Gateways defined for higher-risk buildings.

What’s included:

• The views of almost 500 construction professionals about the Building Safety Act.
• Understanding what is meant by the Golden Thread of Information.
• Expert commentary from a legal standpoint from Fenwick and Elliott and 39 Essex Chambers.
• An overview of the Building Safety Act from Richard Waterhouse of the British Board of Agrement (BBA).
• Advice on how NBS can help construction professionals comply with the Building Safety Act.

Understanding the 'nitty gritty' of the Building Safety Act is crucial for successfully navigating this new regulatory environment. Our white paper is designed to equip you with the knowledge to lead and innovate in the evolving landscape of building safety.
