Event Summary

Building safety is entering its next phase. The Building Safety Levy is in force, the Building Safety (Remediation of Unsafe Cladding etc) Bill is before Parliament, and the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) is evolving towards a Single Construction Regulator. Alongside them, Construction Products Reform, proposed changes to Approved Document B and pressure on Gateway performance are raising the bar on competence, accountability, and evidence. What will this mean for your organisation, your buildings, and your residents?

Our popular Building Safety Conference returns to Manchester on 24th March 2027. Get ahead of compliance, learn what is working across every stage of the building lifecycle, and leave with clear next steps for your buildings and residents.

Competence, culture, accountability and evidence sit at the heart of the new safety regime. Get the latest from the BSR and MHCLG on:

  • The Building Safety (Remediation of Unsafe Cladding etc) Bill: remediation duties, enforcement powers and the register of medium-rise buildings
  • A more proportionate, risk-based approach to Building Assessment Certificates (BACs)
  • Implications of the Building Safety Levy for eligible residential development
  • Next steps for Construction Products Reform
  • Implications of new regulations including the Future Homes and Buildings Standards coming into force from March 2027, with higher-risk building (HRB) work following from September 2027

Gain insight on the Building Safety (Remediation of Unsafe Cladding etc) Bill including the legal duty on those responsible for buildings to identify, assess and remediate unsafe external wall systems without delay, backed by stronger enforcement powers. We will also spotlight the introduction of a nationally consistent approach to external wall assessments.

Learn from building safety teams managing complex remediation, including the extended Cladding Safety Scheme and its risk-to-life prioritisation, and aligning safety with retrofitting and maintenance. Hear how leading organisations are controlling costs and contractors without compromising quality and competence.

Ahead of the forthcoming strategy for the built environment professions, trades and occupations, discover how leadership, as much as technical expertise, builds a culture that puts safety first. Hear from partners across the supply chain, alongside fire and building safety experts, on how collaboration strengthens accountability and how sharing the right information builds a robust case for regulatory compliance.

Hear from the Independent Residents’ Panel, the Building Advisory Committee and the Industry Competence Committee, whose views will inform the BSR as it develops towards the Single Construction Regulator.

Network with peers, learn from other organisations’ journeys and assess your next steps to keep buildings compliant and residents safe.
