For HRBs, there is increased scrutiny and a more rigorous building control process, administered by the newly established Building Safety Regulator (BSR).<\/p>\n<p>The BSR mandates a three-gateway process for project approval: Gateway 01 at the planning stage, Gateway 02 before construction commences, and Gateway 03 before the building\u2019s completion.<\/p>\n<p>This process ensures a thorough review and adherence to safety standards from the project\u2019s inception to its conclusion.<\/p>\n<h3>Key considerations for compliance<\/h3>\n<p>To align with the new building safety regulations, there are several critical factors to consider:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Legal obligations: The introduction of statutory declarations for Building Regulation compliance necessitates a comprehensive understanding of your legal responsibilities throughout the construction process.<\/li>\n<li>Project durations and financial implications: The extended pre-construction and construction phases may impact project appraisals, with potential increases in interest on debt and alterations to the Internal Rate of Return (IRR).<\/li>\n<li>Risk allocation: It\u2019s essential to determine how risks associated with compliance and extended durations will be contractually allocated through the building contract.<\/li>\n<li>Procurement and support: The selection of procurement routes for HRB projects and the engagement of building control consultants are vital for navigating the enhanced requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ensuring compliance is complex and needs a meticulous approach. We would suggest enlisting the support of project managers, surveyors and fire safety experts to guide you through these complexities and the new duties imposed by the regulations.<\/p>\n<p>The risk of getting it wrong is high. The experts you instruct should be able to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Advise you on fulfilling your defined duties under the new regulations, including appointing competent principal designers and principal contractors.<\/li>\n<li>Conduct competency checks on appointed duty holders.<\/li>\n<li>Assist you with putting the measures into place to comfortably make the statutory declarations at key project stages to affirm compliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Your responsibilities under the new regime<\/h3>\n<p>The new regulations stipulate that clients cannot delegate responsibility of their statutory duties. If your consultants get it wrong, it is still your liability.<\/p>\n<p>These responsibilities include ensuring compliance with Building Safety Regulations, appointing designated duty holders and making necessary declarations at the appointment, commencement and completion stages.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore imperative that you understand these duties to avoid legal pitfalls.<\/p>\n<h3>Additional provisions for HRBs<\/h3>\n<p>HRBs face additional requirements, including specific measures for building control, mandatory gateway processes and the submission of detailed documentation to demonstrate compliance.<\/p>\n<p>These measures necessitate a thorough preparation and submission process, underscoring the need for expert guidance.<\/p>\n<p>The amendments introduced by the Building Safety Act 2022 represent a paradigm shift in building safety and regulation.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s essential for all parties involved in construction projects to familiarise themselves with these changes and take proactive steps towards compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Find a team you trust to provide the expertise and support needed to navigate this new regulatory landscape, ensuring your projects not only meet but exceed the new safety standards.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nathan Hooper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Associate<\/p>\n<p>Hollis<\/p>\n<p>Tel: +44 (0)20 7622 9555<\/p>\n<p><a
