The subsequent Building Safety Act has brought greater definition to those requirements by placing a clear responsibility on manufacturers and main contractors to ensure accurate, transparent, and traceable product data throughout every stage of a project.<\/p>\n<p>As a leading producer of advanced fixings and cladding support systems, SFS has embedded these principles at the heart of its Technical Services function. The team has been fully engaged on refining the company\u2019s product information systems and internal processes to ensure customers, partners, and specifiers can access consistent, verified data that supports compliance with the CCPI<\/p>\n<h3>Still getting to grips with the Building Safety Act<\/h3>\n<p>There is, undoubtedly, still a level of confusion amongst some specifiers, many of whom are still encountering the Building Safety Act for the first time as they take on buildings over 18 metres high. Despite having extensive product data online and within our databases, the challenge remains helping design professionals manage the breadth of expertise now required from roof and thermal building envelope performance and fire safety to architectural quality.<\/p>\n<p>Gordon leads a national team of ten technicians based in both Leeds and Welwyn Garden City, and field technicians operating across the UK. Together, they work closely with customers and design consultants to provide guidance, not only on product performance, durability, and compliance, but also on how project-specific requirements can be met.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;Building safety starts with knowledge&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cOur work is often reactive, especially around rainscreen system design where projects are highly bespoke,\u201d continues Gordon. \u201cWe also perform extensive in-house testing of new roofing and fa\u00e7ade systems from OEM&#8217;s using our Leeds facility, while our site technicians routinely carry out pull-out tests and structural investigations across the country. The results we collect allows us to deliver fixing calculation proposal that help to meet performance standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Amongst my other roles, I represent SFS on industry committees and bodies including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction-news\/construction-technology-news\/sfs-launches-ergodek-new-era-safe-efficient-innovative-metal-deck-fastening\/160011\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metal Cladding<\/a> &amp; Roofing Manufacturers Association (MCRMA). Within the MCRMA, I contribute to ongoing initiatives that promote improved competency, training, and installation standards within the sector.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuilding safety starts with knowledge,\u201d he concludes. \u201cWe fully support the industry\u2019s focus on training and competency development not just on visible aspects of fa\u00e7ade and roofing systems but on the subtleties, such as designing for movement and tolerances. It\u2019s those details that make the difference between compliance and risk, and our role is to help ensure every project gets it right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For further information, call 0330 0555888 or
