Led by Dame Judith Hackitt, the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety was commissioned by the Government to review and make recommendations about the future of building safety regulation.
Published in May 2018 and titled “Building A Safer Future,” the final report assessed the various issues and failures surrounding existing construction process and building safety regulation. The review recommended root-and-branch reform of the entire system, and greater scrutiny of duty holders. It also includes recommendations to maintain and track the ‘golden thread of information’ – a digital record of project information across a building’s full lifecycle.
The Hackitt Review was quickly followed by government consultation and reports on how the review’s various recommendations could be translated into new regulations and frameworks and have formed the foundation of the draft Building Safety Bill and Fire Safety Bill.
The Building Safety Programme continues today, influencing and enforcing routes of improving building safety.
