    Building safety in practice – learning, improving and delivering better outcomes

    Almost three years after the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) began to oversee a new approach to the design, construction and management of higher-risk buildings in England, the BSR continues to improve processes to ensure more efficient and faster approval of all building work applications within scope of the higher-risk regime.
