Introduction
The Building Safety Act 2022 and secondary legislation creates a new regulatory regime for high-rise residential buildings in England ('Higher-Risk Buildings'), covering all stages of their design, construction, major refurbishment, and occupation.

You will also explore the new requirements to register existing Higher-Risk Buildings and ongoing obligations in respect of their maintenance and safety checking together with the new obligations created by the building safety legislation, and how clients and landlords should restructure their procurement, construction, and tenancy processes to comply with the new obligations.
