The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) is set to oversee the building control approval process for all higher-risk buildings from 1st October 2023. In order to ensure the ongoing safety of residents, the BSR will also manage the safety of these buildings while they are occupied. To provide a clear overview of the new building control regime and the BSR’s role as the Building Control Authority, a free one-hour lunchtime webinar will be hosted on Wednesday 9th August from 12pm-1pm. The webinar will be hosted by Colin Blatchford-Brown, Operational Policy lead for Gateways and Building Control, and Jenny Hagan, Senior Policy Advisor for Gateways and Building Control.
The engaging and informative webinar is open to all those interested in the new building control regime, including designers, architects, local planning and building control authorities, building control professionals, private and public sector contractors, clients, principal accountable persons/accountable persons, developers, and industry organisations. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the new building control regime, the importance of duty holder roles, and the gateways. The webinar will also provide the opportunity to ask questions to the experts and receive a post-event copy of the presentation and a recording of the webinar.
