The SCOPE: Understanding the Building Safety Act
January 31, 2025
From competence to culture change, there's a lot to absorb around the Building Safety Act
The SCOPE is a podcast addressing important issues influencing the sustainable future of real estate, infrastructure, the environment, and communities.
In this episode we take an in-depth analysis of the requirements of the Building Safety Act with guests, Owen Edwards, a building control specialist, Jay Morton, director at architects Bell Phillips, and Victoria Checkley, structural and civil engineering director with Â鶹´«Ã½.
The panel explain why the level of detail required is proportionate to risk. They discuss what the impact will be from a greater focus on upfront, detailed design, and they explain why Gateway 2 and 3 are not referenced in the Act. They also discuss why it's important to be able to show all your workings-out, just like you did at school!
