This virtual workshop provides construction and property professionals with a solid understanding of best practice Construction Design Management 2015 (CDM) techniques, how to demonstrate good and compliant design through the Design Risk Management (DRM) process, and the key aspects of the new Building Safety Act and its secondary regulation which is being drafted. The requirements and relationship between both legislations is discussed, along with how compliance with both can be practically achieved.
Developed following the tragic Grenfell Fire Tower, the Building Safety Act (BSA) has introduced the most dramatic change to building safety in the England (with some provisions that apply to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) in recent years. The Act applies to all buildings, with a particularly stringent focus on those deemed ‘higher-risk’, and apply while buildings are being designed built, refurbished and occupied.
Using a highly interactive approach, delegates will get the opportunity to discuss the key issues, real-life scenarios and their own experiences in the workshop.
Delegates will be able to apply their learning immediately to current as well as future projects.
NOTE: The detail of the BSA will be issued in secondary legislation over a period of 12 to 18 months and this course will be updated to reflect the most up to date information at the time of delivery.
Delegates will be provided with a ‘DRM Toolkit’ which includes:
- Strategy Brief
- Survey Tracker
- Schedule of Significant Issues
- Analysis & Options Matrix
- Health & Safety File
- Roadmap
In between sessions, delegates will use the toolkit to start to compile information for one of their own projects, with an emphasis on the Strategy Brief.
