Building Safety Act

Resources

Tools, reference material and the primary sources behind everything on this site. We cite sources because guidance that cannot be checked is not guidance, it is assertion.

Tools

  • Readiness self-assessment. Eleven questions on scope, duty holder, evidence and management. Runs in your browser, stores nothing, and is built to find the gap rather than reassure you.
  • Analysis. Bills, consultations and regulator statements, each with the stage it has reached and whether it is yet law.
  • Glossary. Every defined term with the section, statutory instrument or guidance page that defines it.
