Building safety: Navigating a changing landscape

16 Sep 2026

Building safety is no longer just a compliance issue. It has become a critical legal, commercial and strategic consideration for anyone involved in the built environment. As regulation continues to evolve, developers, landlords, investors, contractors and advisers face increasing scrutiny, new responsibilities and a growing need to stay ahead of change.

In our four-part Building Safety vlog series, we explore the latest developments shaping the sector, including the new Welsh building safety regime, second staircase requirements, the proposed Remediation Bill, and the Building Safety Levy. Through practical insights and expert commentary, we explain what these changes mean in practice and how organisations can prepare for the next phase of reform.

Watch the series below to understand the risks, opportunities and actions that matter most in today’s building safety environment.
