Speakers:

As the regulatory landscape for property management continues to evolve under the Building Safety Act 2022, the importance of Structural Risk Assessments (SRAs) is taking centre stage. For the first time, the Building Safety Regulator has refused to issue a Building Assessment Certificate for a higher risk building (HRB) due to the absence of an SRA, marking a turning point in how structural risks are scrutinised and managed.

This decision sends a clear message to property professionals: SRAs are no longer optional for HRBs, they are essential. If your BTR HRB property portfolio does not include a thorough structural risk assessment, you could be exposed to significant compliance, financial, and reputational risks.

So, what does this mean for property owners and professionals?

In this exclusive webinar, David Hills, Director- Regulatory, Technical and Technology at Ark Workplace Risk, will delve into the critical role of structural risk assessments in safeguarding BTR properties. From understanding key triggers for assessments to interpreting the results and implementing actionable mitigation strategies, this session will provide you with the insights needed to manage structural risks effectively.

David will also explore how leveraging technology can streamline structural compliance processes, ensuring transparency, accountability, and proactive risk management.

We will also have a guest appearance from Victoria Kempthorne, a Senior Associate from Irwin Mitchell who specialises in Construction Law. Victoria will provide an update on the legal requirements associated with the Building Safety Act.

Whether you’re a BTR property owner, compliance director, property manager, or safety professional, this webinar will arm you with the knowledge to approach structural risk assessments confidently.
