Our newly published web page offers essential guidance for navigating the high-rise residential building control application process.
It details how to achieve high-quality, compliant submissions through early engagement and adopting an 'Identify, Clarify, Justify' approach with applications.
This guidance, along with case studies, real-life examples and other useful resources can help you avoid common pitfalls, reduce delays and ensure your projects meet the highest safety standards.
Earlier this month, the CLC also published a suite of guidance on Building Control Approval applications for a new higher-risk building (Gateway 2).
This guidance, produced by CLC, is aimed at improving the quality of developer applications and reducing the number of rejected applications.
It follows collaboration from BSR and other industry stakeholders through a series of joint 'task and finish' groups.
Our recent expert-led webinars saw hundreds of attendees joining us online for 2 free sessions aimed at developers and Principal Accountable Persons involved in making building control applications.
If you missed these sessions, we have made them available on our website.
3 more webinars have also been arranged for September, covering:
-

Class 2, categories C and F, and class 3, category G, update
Recent updates to the registered building inspector (RBI) code of conduct and competency framework (BICoF) have expanded the legal scope for RBIs registered as class 2, categories C and F, and class 3, category G, in England.
These RBIs can now be appointed by BSR to advise on specific higher-risk building (HRB) work.
This includes category B and certain category A work, limited to work involving internal layout changes within individual residential units within an HRB.
The change acknowledges that some HRB work can be safely carried out by competent class 2C, 2F or 3G RBIs. We will make appointments on a case-by-case basis for HRB work.
