About this Event
Join us for a focused CPD event designed to provide a clear and practical understanding of the Building Safety Act and its real-world implications for the built environment.
This session brings together legal, design, and construction expertise. Colin Jones from HCR Law will deliver the legal presentation, outlining the key framework, duties and compliance responsibilities under the Act. This will be complemented by a joint presentation from LSI Architects and Pentaco, exploring the importance of collaboration between consultant and contractor in successfully delivering the requirements of the Building Safety Act.
In addition, Charles Cowling, a CDM specialist from Concertus, will provide further practical insight into how these regulations are applied on projects.
Together, the speakers will offer valuable perspectives on current updates, regulatory expectations and practical approaches to compliance. The event is aimed at professionals involved in the design, construction, and management of buildings who want to stay informed, confident and up to date with the latest changes.
Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of how to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape and apply the Building Safety Act effectively in day-to-day practice.
