The SCOPE
Understanding the Building Safety Act
From competence to culture change, there's a lot to absorb around the Building Safety Act.
So, what is meant by the level of detail required being proportionate to risk? What's the impact of a greater focus on detailed design upfront? Why can't you find Gateway 2 and 3 referenced in the Act? And why is it important to be able to show all your workings-out, just like you did at school?
Offering a sweeping view on the Building Safety Act in this episode are Owen Edwards, building control specialist, Jay Morton, director at architects, Bell Phillips, and Victoria Checkley, structural and civil engineering director with Stantec. Our guests are in conversation with Graham Munday from Stantec.
