In 2022, when the Building Safety Act was granted Royal Assent, it promised greater accountability and transparency for the UK construction industry. But three years on, it remains just that, a promise rather than a reality.
Both BSA and the Building Safety Regulator have come under heavy criticism for delaying gateway 2 Act approvals for high-risk buildings. So why is BSA proving so hard to follow in practice, and what else should the industry be doing to step up and comply with the process?
These were two of the issues explored by a panel session looking at the impact of the BSA and what needs to change if it is to succeed in its mission of delivering a safer building. Sponsored by GRAHAM, Freeths and Senate Consulting, the discussion was hosted by SEC Newgate at its London office. To read a write-up of the event click here.
