Join AtkinsRéalis for an insightful webinar focused on the evolving landscape of the Building Safety Act (BSA) and its implications across the industry, offering valuable perspectives from industry leaders on how businesses can effectively navigate the requirements of the BSA.
Discover how the Building Safety Act (BSA) is transforming the construction sector, as AtkinsRéalis outline their strategy for the Principal Designer (PD) role and how the firm is helping a diverse array of clients navigate the intricate BSA requirements.
They’ll also introduce the BSA Client Advisor role, developed to assist clients—particularly those managing High-Risk Buildings (HRBs)—in meeting the Act’s stringent demands. The discussion will then shift to the impact of the BSA on Design & Build contractors, focusing on their dual responsibilities as Principal Designer and Principal Contractor, and how they are navigating these challenges. The session will conclude with an analysis of Gateways 2 and 3, key stages in the BSA framework, and the importance of compliance and best practices at these critical points.
A panel discussion will follow, offering further insights into these topics. Expect a deep dive into real-world experiences of managing HRBs, the evolving role of contractors, and the industry’s ongoing efforts to enhance safety testing and competency to prevent future incidents like Grenfell. This discussion will bring together perspectives from across the industry to ensure a well-rounded and practical understanding of the changes underway.
This webinar is essential for professionals looking to stay at the forefront of regulatory changes and best practices in the built environment. Don’t miss the opportunity to engage with experts and gain actionable insights into the ongoing transformation driven by the Building Safety Act.
