PANEL: Is the Construction Sector Failing to Engage With the New Building Safety Regime?
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.
