Demystifying The Building Safety Act

In this episode of the Tetra Fireside Chat, we sit down with Dr Shaun Lundy, Tetra’s Director of Quality Assurance and Strategy, to unravel the complexities of the Building Safety Act. With the regulator yet to issue a single certificate for higher-risk buildings, uncertainty remains high. Dr Lundy discusses the latest updates and what they mean for property managers, developers, and residents, and what steps must be taken to ensure compliance. We discuss:

• The purpose and scope of the Building Safety Act
• Key responsibilities for property managers
• The role of the Building Safety Regulator and its powers
• The gateway process (Gateway 1, 2, and 3) and its implications
• The golden thread of information - what it is and why it matters
• Lessons from Tetra’s experience supporting clients with safety cases
