RICS North West Building Safety Act 2022 Webinar

The Building Safety Act 2022 is principally concerned with the safety of buildings and the individuals in them. It is affectively the Government’s response to the tragic Grenfell fire in 2017. It incorporates the biggest changes to building safety legislation for nearly forty years, with the aim to raise standards across the industry.

The Act sees major regulatory changes to the design, procurement, construction and management of buildings. It introduces a complex regime for assessing and managing risk throughout the life of a building, and amends a number of other laws, such as the Landlord & Tenant Act of 1985, the Defective Premises Act of 1972 and the Building Act of 1984.

One significant change is the implementation of new rules that will allow leaseholders to take on builders for historic faults in their homes for work done since 1992.

How will this new legislation impact the construction industry? Will the sector face challenges when implementing these new regulations?
