The Building Safety Act: Dame Judith Hackitt

ON DEMAND

NBS recently hosted the Construction Leaders' Summit for over 250 architects, engineers, contractors, and manufacturers at the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The event was dedicated to sharing the latest developments in building safety, sustainability, and digital transformation within the construction industry.

Dame Judith Hackitt, the former Chair of the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, took centre stage to deliver the keynote speech. Her presentation focused on the building safety regime, urging the industry to rethink, reset, and take responsibility for its actions.

The message was clear - the new regulatory framework is now in place, and it falls upon each and every member of the construction sector to demonstrate their competence and commitment. Hackitt offered valuable insights into what specifiers and manufacturers need to do to meet the new regulation and emphasised the importance of rising to the challenge and showcasing the ability to provide reliable data and rebuild trust.
