Join the Tyne and Wear Community for this in-person event exploring the Building Safety Act 2022, competence, compliance and collaboration.

The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA) and Building Regulations 2010 (as amended 2023) are fundamentally reshaping expectations around competence, accountability and compliance across the built environment.

With a strong focus on competence, the introduction of new duty holder roles, and an enhanced compliance regime for Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs), this presentation will explore the practical implications for HRB projects. It will also highlight common causes of gateway delays, how these can be avoided, the importance of competence verification, and the potential consequences of non-compliance.
