The Building Safety Act 2022
The publication of long-awaited secondary legislation setting out the new processes for securing building control for and the management of higher-risk buildings (HRBs) has brought much needed clarity as to how the new regime is expected to operate.
Alongside this, the government continues to publish guidance on multiple related building safety issues, including guidance around:
- the design and construction of HRBs
- building work in existing HRBs
- the occupation phase of HRBs.
Further Government guidance is expected into 2024.
