Chief inspector of buildings at HSE has announced his retirement weeks after the new building safety regime has started.

Dame Judith Hackitt and Peter Baker, speaking at CIOB’s Safer Buildings UK event, gave a clear message: act now on building safety. Now is the time to bring that message to an even wider audience, says Caroline Gumble.

Peter Baker, the chief inspector of buildings, has told designers of high-rise buildings to act now to prepare for changes when the Building Safety Bill becomes law.

As the Building Safety Bill progresses through Parliament, chief inspector of buildings Peter Baker tells Neil Gerrard why construction professionals need to start preparing for change now.

The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) has published a set of safety case principles for high-rise residential buildings (HRRBs) to give early insight into changes to the building safety regulatory regime.
