What is this regulation?
The UK’s building safety framework has evolved rapidly in recent years, introducing stricter requirements for accountability, risk management, and resident engagement.
From the Building Safety Act 2022 to new and emerging regulations, dutyholders must now demonstrate greater control, transparency, and compliance across all stages of a building’s lifecycle.
This page brings together the key legislation you need to understand, with clear guidance on what each law means in practice.
