Our Work

Now, over 12 months on from the introduction of the Building Safety Act its principles are firmly embedding themselves across the construction industry and reshaping the regulatory environment. However, practical implementation can vary widely and being able to demonstrate competence is key.

Putting in the groundwork

Since we launched our Building Safety Act workshops and training courses in 2024, Cube has trained more than 1,000 construction professionals across a range of sectors. From tier 1 construction firms to regional contractors and national housing associations, people have gained a deeper understanding of the BSA and how it effects their day-to-day operations, obligations and responsibilities as part of a project team.

We’ve also worked with several professional industry bodies including The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and Federation of Master Builders to develop courses for their members.

Spotlight on safety

As a result of our work throughout the year, we were honoured to be invited to co-present on a panel at The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) Midlands sold out event in early April. The high-impact half-day CPD session discussed both JCT 24 and the Building Safety Act - One Year On.

Mark, who is also CIOB Nottingham Hub Vice Chair, joined George Parker from AtkinsRéalis to provide an overview of the duty holder roles and responsibilities, key expectations from the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), lessons learned, and the formalities surrounding competency.

Hosted by the CIOB Birmingham, Nottingham and Northampton Hubs, the morning delivered timely insight, expert analysis, and practical takeaways for delegates from all corners of the sector and created a space for rich discussion and collaboration.

Building Safety Act: One Year On - Key Takeaways

The sessions discussed the evolving role of duty holders, rising competency expectations for all works, as well as high risk buildings (HRBs), from the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) and the importance of proactive compliance to avoid costly delays and penalties.

Key takeaways were the need for defined responsibilities and early-stage planning, with demonstrating competency now a non-negotiable pillar of project execution.

Demonstrating competence

Mark comments: "It's more important than ever that out industry embraces the Building Safety Act. The core principles of capability, competence, compliance, and change need to be central in our thoughts and reflected in our behaviours. Positive engagement can have a lasting impact on our industry, raising standards, expectations and producing buildings that we know are safe for those who occupy them."
