Build UK recently updated its guide to the Building Safety Regime to include all the information published in connection with the latest phase of the regime from 6 April. The April 2024 version includes the new registers for Building Control Approvers and Building Inspectors and updates to Approved Document B, including guidance for second staircases in new residential buildings above 18 metres in height. Build UK has also produced an overview of the Golden Thread for members, summarising the new requirement to collate and store information for Higher‐Risk Buildings (HRBs), and a timeline shows at a glance when all the key changes take effect.

Following publication of the fourth report by the Industry Safety Steering Group, Chair Dame Judith Hackitt has released a blog reflecting on the ‘huge progress’ to date and urging the industry to continue to work together to ensure the new regime is a success. The Grenfell Tower Inquiry has confirmed that publication of its Phase 2 report has been delayed and will now be published after the next anniversary of the fire in June.
