The Building Safety Act: Are you really competent? How can you prove it?

The Building Safety Act 2022, came into force on 6th April 2024 with far-reaching implications for everyone in construction. The legislation gave new powers to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) introducing sweeping new courses of action, enforcement powers and criminal offences, in particular, the potential personal liability of directors.

 

Within these new regulations, demonstrating competency is a legal requirement.

 

With wider understanding of the principles of the Act now embedded, it is time to focus on how to prove competency. What exactly does it mean? What are the issues around it? How are digital records being kept? How does it impact tendering? What are individuals and businesses doing that will improve things in the future?

 

The Event: 

Join Cube Construction Consultants, as we bring together clients, contractors, architects, legal representatives, building owners and academics to discuss the issues around demonstrating competency and the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved in construction.

 

During the session we’ll look at what competency means, explore who competence requirements relate to and look at the appropriate skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours that are required. We’ll explore solutions for demonstrating competency, options for enhanced training and digital solutions for documenting and reporting, to maintain The Golden Thread.

 

Following a brief overview on the key elements of the Building Safety Act, we’ll facilitate a multi-disciplinary discussion around what demonstrating competence means and how everyone is affected. It’s an opportunity to share ideas, challenges and explore opportunities and solutions for future activity.   

  

Invited participants will leave the event with a far greater understanding of how to demonstrate competence for themselves and their organisations.
