Building Safety and The Golden Thread: How do we turn these ambitious requirements into a reality for the built environment by October 2023?

On April 28 2022, the Building Safety Bill received Royal Assent and became an Act of Parliament. This landmark Act is set to bring about historical change to building legislation in the AEC industry and contains provisions intended to secure the safety of people in or about buildings.

The new Gateway regime introduced through the enactment of the Act will be fully operational from October 2023 and will require a shift in how we approach all new building projects, not just higher-risk buildings.

As part of the International Centre for Connected Construction, and with support from the North of Tyne and Northumbria University under the Digital Business Pipeline Initiative, BIM Academy is facilitating a three-day training and consultancy programme which will introduce the new legislative requirements for the industry, work with you to understand what implications this has for your organisation, and how you can prepare to meet your obligations.

 

Day 1 – CPD Session

A full one-day workshop for all attendees, introducing the Act and discussing topics such as:

  • Background to the Act, including the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the Hackitt report, and the web of blame.
  • The new regime, including an overview of primary and secondary legislation.
  • Changes affecting all projects, with a focus on the new principal designer role under building regulations, plus the new duties for clients, contractors, and designers.
  • Change affecting high-rise residential buildings (HRRB) only, looking at the Gateway process, registering an existing HRRB, the building safety case, and the Fire (England) Regulations. 

This workshop will be facilitated in person on 27th September 2023 at Cooper’s Studios, 14-18 Westgate Road, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE1 3NN. Lunch will be provided.

 

Day 2 – Review Workshop

A full one-day workshop for all attendees, workshopping out how to meet the requirements based on whether the organisations fall within the roles of the accountable person (as client / developer), or designer / principal designer (as architect / lead designer). This would include a review of:

  • Existing portfolios and HRRB projects
  • Competencies
  • Processes

This workshop will be facilitated in person on 18th October 2023 at Cooper’s Studios, 14-18 Westgate Road, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE1 3NN. Lunch will be provided.

 

Day 3 – Road Map Workshop (Optional and bespoke to your organisation)

A bespoke one-on-one day of consultancy with each attendee and up to 5 others from their organisation to develop a strategy for meeting the requirements of the Building Safety Act via SWOT analysis.

This final third day will be facilitated online or in-person at a date convenient to both parties.
