The Building Safety Act: In conversation with our construction team

18 Sep 2024

Events and webinars

In this episode of our ‘In conversation with…’ series, Iain Benson and Luke Barnes in the construction team discuss the Building Safety Act so far, relating to developers and the construction of higher risk buildings. This short overview introduces topics including: dutyholders (who they are and what they do); the gateway criteria; the importance of the ‘Golden Thread of Information’ and when it is needed; and commercial practical completion considerations.
