The annual conference run by NHBC, will reflect on the progress of the Building Safety Bill 2021 and the changes to building regulations.
The event will also consider the impact of the Future Homes Standard (and the Scottish and Northern Irish equivalents) on the fabric of new homes and highlight what is needed in order to be compliant. The journey toward the Future Homes Standard in 2025 will present some of the most significant changes to housing for many years.
Part L of the Building Regulations will be introduced in June
In June, changes to Part L of the Building Regulations will be introduced. It’s vital that the industry is up to date with the new regulations in order to remain high quality during the transition period.
Nick Cunningham, regional director at NHBC said: “We are pleased to unveil this fantastic line up of speakers who are giving their time to deliver practical, hands-on advice to support the continued drive across the sector to build safe, quality, sustainable homes both now and in the future.
“With the house-building industry facing significant regulatory changes, Building for tomorrow 2022 provides an essential forum for delegates to discuss the challenges, and opportunities, ahead.”
