The Building Safety Act marks a significant change for the construction industry. It overhauls existing regulations on building standards and construction materials, with the goal of driving quality in design, construction and operation.

I had the privilege of chairing a panel on its wide-reaching implications with Gary Strong, Global Standards Director at the RICS, Jane Duncan OBE from the RIBA, Liz Oliver, Safer Homes Director at Hyde Housing Association, Sarah Kiesel, Senior Technical Operations Manager at NHBC and John Winter from Apex Insurance.

The panel was part of an event hosted by the Cambridge Forum for the Construction Industry and the Cambridge University Land Society’s Residential Forum.

I’m sharing the panel on the pod because despite its importance, the Act is not widely understood. Topics include:

  • What are the intended and unintended consequences of this new Act?
  • Will the Act result in an exodus of professionals, especially SME surveyors, architects etc?
  • What are the commercial implications of the Act?
