The Building Safety Act 2022 requires all architects to ensure compliance with building regulations and demonstrate their competence.

This involves planning, managing, and monitoring their designs to ensure they meet the functional requirements of building regulations – which requires specifying active and passive fire protection systems, and proper egress routes.

This shift requires architects to take ownership of the compliance process and provide compliant designs with confidence.

  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow professionals, share experiences, and build relationships that can support your practice in navigating these regulations to ensure compliance.
