The UK government is implementing reforms to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) to accelerate housebuilding and the development of new buildings. These reforms include a new fast-track process for applications and structural changes to the BSR to improve efficiency and speed up decision-making. The reforms are particularly focused on higher-risk buildings, which often face longer and more complex approval processes.
James Carpenter, Construction & Engineering Director at Kier, will provide further insight into what the Act means for our projects from preconstruction into delivery and beyond. An event not to be missed!
