Continued Professional Development

The most significant change introduced by the Building Safety Act (BSA) was the introduction of specific duties for all those who either carry out design work or undertake construction work, along with the creation of three key duty holder roles: the client, principal designer, and principal contractor.

Accountability is the common theme throughout all the changes made by the BSA. The intent is to implement mechanisms within the law to identify who is responsible at each stage during the design and construction of building work and, of course, once a building is occupied. In this session, we cover:

• Part 2A – The Building Regulations 2010​
• The Building (Higher-Risk Buildings Procedures) (England) Regulations 2023​
• Designers and Contractors​
• Client, Principal Designer and Principal Contractor​
• The Role of Building Control
  

The new ‘gateways’ are the building control process for higher-risk buildings. The key aspect of this new process is that you will need building control approval from the Building Safety Regulator before you start work.

These need careful planning within the construction programme as well as bringing design development forward to ensure building control approval can be secured before any building work starts on site.

In this session, we cover:

• Higher-risk buildings​
• Transitional provisions​
• Introducing the gateways​
• The role of duty holders​
• Application process​
• Change control
