WOBO is aware of the developments taking place in the UK in respect of existing buildings – safety is paramount.
The Building Safety Act introduces a set of new roles and responsibilities for people who manage occupied, high-rise residential buildings.
Although the Act has become law, the duties it describes for existing occupied high-rise residential buildings have not come into force yet. Registration of existing buildings is expected to begin in April 2023, with the Building Assessment Certificate process expected to begin in April 2024.
