The SCOPE
Welcome to The SCOPE. A podcast series addressing important issues influencing the sustainable future of real estate, infrastructure, the environment, and communities.
The SCOPE, brought to you by Stantec, offers insight into the breadth of subjects exercising the minds of real estate developers, investors, public bodies, and everyone involved in the built environment.
It combines industry leading voices with our own specialists for an engaging digest over a ‘commutable’ length.
Stantec is a global leader in sustainable engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting. The diverse perspectives of our partners and interested parties drive us to think beyond what’s previously been done on critical issues like climate change, digital transformation, and future-proofing our cities and infrastructure.
We innovate at the intersection of community, creativity, and client relationships to advance communities everywhere, so that together we can redefine what’s possible.
The SCOPE
Competence and the Building Safety Act
Competence is a key word in the positioning and requirements of the Building Safety Act.
How is the industry proving competence? If you're responsible for selecting suppliers or products, how are you assured of their competence?
What does this mean to the process of design - why is performance-based design the future? And how is the industry adapting to the changes required from the Building Safety Act?
With recognised expertise in the realm of the Act, joining this episode are Professor Jose Torero from UCL - an expert witness for the Grenfell Inquiry, Bea Young, director at WW+P architects, and James McNay, fire safety director with Stantec. Our guests are in conversation with Graham Munday from Stantec.
