Key Building Information (KBI) can now be entered on the registration portal.
As part of the process to register high-rise residential buildings in England, there is a requirement to supply KBI to the Building Safety Regulator.
KBI is a set of information needed about each high-rise building in order to assess and properly manage the risks of fire spread or structural failure. It can be submitted at the same time as completing the application to register a building or at a later date.
All registration applications and KBI must be completed on the portal by 1 October 2023.

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has published guidance to help register buildings with multiple structures.
If your building has two or more structures that are attached, you need to assess the 'independent section' criteria to see if they count as one building or should be registered separately.
