UK&I Building regulation update webinar

Overview

Building regulations are continually evolving, reflecting increasing demands across health and safety, fire performance, and decarbonisation requirements. The implementation of the Building Safety Act now impacts a wider range of building types and is redefining the duties of professionals in the built environment. Fire safety expectations also continue to tighten through updates to Approved Document B and the transition to European fire testing classifications. There is also increasing emphasis on retrofit and improved energy performance from the UK Government, which is reshaping how surveyors advise clients for the move towards net zero. Keeping pace with these overlapping requirements is now essential for a competent professional practice.

This webinar will provide a clear, practical overview of the current regulatory landscape. Drawing together the key statutory information and guidance available and highlighting how it applies to different building contexts. Members will also explore how responsibilities under the Building Safety Act, fire safety reforms, and decarbonisation targets influence inspection, risk management, and client advice.
