UK&I The building safety act for quantity surveyors: competence and compliance webinar

Online

From £27 + VAT

Overview

Four years on from the introduction of the Building Safety Act (BSA), its impact is now firmly embedded across the built environment. Surveyors must not only understand this complex and far-reaching legislation but clearly demonstrate their role-specific responsibilities within it. With further construction reform on the horizon, the BSA continues to drive significant legal and cultural change across the industry.

This one-hour webinar provides quantity surveyors with a practical guide to developing and demonstrating BSA competence across areas such as procurement, product substitution and recognising safety issues at design and build stages.

Discover the implications of the “golden thread” and regulatory gateways for your own project decisions, learn how you can take a compliance-first approach, and understand your own legal culpability for safety and negligence through real life practice cases.

Learning outcomes

Understand the SKEB framework and when, where and how your project decisions as a quantity surveyor must be underscored by the BSA.

Consider your individual duties and obligation to demonstrate competency under the BSA – and the legal need to communicate a lack of competence or confidence with your organisation and clients.

Discover how to avoid common mistakes, ensuring QS processes support the “golden thread” and access supportive governance.

Reflect on what lessons can be drawn for QSs from real life legal cases of non-compliance.

Consider your past projects and what you would do differently now to take a compliance-first approach.

Plan for how to navigate compliance as a live factor and to change your behaviours to ensure readiness for future legislative change.
