Building Safety: Compliance meets Complexity

Our Building Safety team brings you an overview of the Building Safety Act as it continues to evolve and reshape how higher-risk buildings are designed, built, and occupied.

The Gateway Regime, now fully operational, introduces three mandatory checkpoints for buildings over 18m or seven storeys. Developers must engage with the Building Safety Regulator at planning, pre-construction, and completion stages, adding time, cost, and complexity to projects.

For landlords and asset managers, the implications go beyond construction and the remediation of existing buildings. Ongoing safety obligations, remediation duties, and registration requirements are now central to portfolio risk management. Delays at Gateway 2 and 3 are already impacting delivery timelines, and the cost of non-compliance is rising.

Our specialist Building Safety team can guide you through every stage. We combine deep regulatory and technical knowledge with practical experience, whether you’re developing new projects or managing existing assets, we will work alongside you to navigate the complexities of the Act with confidence.
