Abstract
Since the Building Safety Act and related secondary legislation came into force in October 2023, it has become increasingly clear that construction industry leaders lack consensus and clarity regarding compliance and duty-holder responsibilities, especially when relating to higher-risk buildings. Driven by a comprehensive survey of almost 500 construction professionals, this NBS white paper addresses that issue, providing an overview of the Building Safety Act by BBA’s Richard Waterhouse, commentary from legal experts at Fenwick and Elliot and 39 Essex Chambers, discussion around the golden thread of information, and practical advice to help equip construction professionals with the knowledge to lead and innovate in the evolving landscape of building safety. If you’d like to read Constructing A Safer Future: Building Safety Act White Paper, select View above and follow the instructions on the download page.
