Building Safety Act Hub

The Building Safety Act 2022 has brought a fundamental shift in the regulation of relevant and higher risk buildings, imposing a swathe of new obligations and processes on those responsible for these buildings, and plenty to think about for those who live in them too.

This huge change has kept the courts busy interpreting these new principles.

We’re tracking each legislative and judicial change to keep you up to date, and our updates are all collated in this hub.
