FREE CPD Building Safety Act & Building Regs | Middlesbrough Tues 26 July

Building Safety Bill: Some of the biggest changes to construction legislation since 1984 are on their way

The Building Safety Bill creates a Building Safety Regulator with new statutory roles for designers and contractors. It creates an entirely new and more rigorous regime for prescribed classes of buildings with new planning and building control gateways and a statutory ‘golden thread’ of information. The Bill will strengthen the building control system with the new Regulator taking responsibility for professional standards for building control surveyors. Everyone needs to understand the Bill as it will change the way that buildings are certified impacting on programme, occupation and ultimately cost.

Speaker: Stephen Barnshaw

Residential Fire Safety

In this session, we look at the current standards for means of escape in dwellings and the spirit of these standards with an eye on how we occupy buildings. This interactive session will question the current standards and suggest alternative approaches

Speaker: Andrew Crooks
