BUILDING SAFETY & SECURITY STAGE

Sponsored by:

Research undertaken earlier this year by the Building Engineering Services Association indicated a significant lack of culture change in the construction sector, following the release of the new building safety regime nearly 2 years ago. This panel session will explore some of the potential reasons for this including:

  • Ongoing confusions around roles and responsibilities
  • A continued focus on value and time engineering
  • The development of the Building Safety Act and it's maturity into workability for the sector
  • Challenges around resources to deliver some of the key objectives, particularly enforcement

This is set to be a lively session that will tackle some of the issues around the future of building safety and provide an insight into the 2025 industry Building Safety Act benchmarking research with a focus on individual competence and organisational capability and how these are shaping compliance across the sector.
