The Building Safety Bill will introduce new, and fairly complex, regime including the need for a Building Risk Assessment

The Building Safety Bill will introduce new, and fairly complex, regime to assure residents and property owners of the safety of the property which they either live in, or own. At the centre of the new regime will be a requirement to understand, assess and manage the building safety risks present in higher-risk residential buildings.

There is a significant amount of free advice available via websites, blogs and webinars, some of it incorrect, ‘gold plated’ or simply misinformed. Our team however have both been fully involved in the development and delivery of the new regime ever since Dame Judith Hackitt issued her final report ‘Building A Safer Future’ in May 2018.

The Building Risk Assessment draws from information you will need to have to hand, including both expert and practical knowledge of your building and will inform the basis of your ‘Safety Case Report’ which is, effectively, the requirement to seek permission from the Regulator to occupy your building.

While the current scope of the new regime is focussed on occupied residential properties of 18 Metre (or 7 storeys) height or above, this process is appropriate for properties of any size, complexity or status.

We offer both half and full day workshops to suit your organisation and depending, perhaps, on existing competence and any information or any existing expertise already existing within your organisation).

We will provide both the training to undertake this exercise, and we can facilitate workshop(s) to develop your initial Building Risk Assessment.
