As part of the reformed Building Safety Regulatory system, the Government is to establish a new, national Building Safety Regulator which will have responsibility for implementing and enforcing a more stringent Regulatory Regime for Buildings in Scope.
The Government is removing the ability of Clients/duty-holders to choose which Building Control Body oversees the construction or refurbishment of Buildings in Scope and extra responsibilities are required to satisfy the new regulator.
In response to this change, we have successfully launched our Specialist Projects and Consultancy Services team to complement our existing Building Control services to support duty-holders with their new responsibilities due to the regulatory changes.
