What does the Building Safety Regulator do?
In this podcast, Principal Associate Natalie Barton-Howes and Associate Brett Mason examine the Building Safety Regulators (BSR's) enforcement powers, current priorities and the major reforms set to reshape the regulatory landscape.
The discussion explores the regulator's enforcement toolkit, from compliance notices and stop notices through to prosecutions, injunctions and the appointment of Special Measures Managers. It also considers how the BSR is using enforcement to drive higher standards, improve accountability and support a stronger culture of building safety across the industry.
Looking ahead, Natalie and Brett discuss key developments including the proposed Single Construction Regulator, reforms to the construction products regime and the Remediation Bill, which introduces new duties, penalties and enforcement mechanisms to address delays in remediation.
