BSR has issued a reminder about the transitional arrangements for building control approval for higher-risk buildings (HRBs).

The transitional arrangements allow HRB projects which are already underway to stay under the current building control regime – and avoid transfer to BSR.

However, developers must take the required steps now for their projects to benefit from these provisions.
