Episode 113 - *Interview* with Max & Connor: 1 year on from the Building Safety Act

In this episode of the "Part Three With Me" podcast, host Maria Scudari speaks with Max and Connor from Project Four Safety about the Building Safety Act and its impact on the architecture industry one year after their initial discussion. They discuss the industry's adaptation to the new duty holder roles, the challenges and shocks experienced due to rushed secondary legislation, and the varying approaches to high-risk building projects. They also explore the gateway application process, competence requirements, and the evolving roles of architects and contractors in ensuring building regulations compliance. The conversation touches on the nervousness among design teams, the need for upskilling, and the subjective nature of competence assessments, as well as the potential future trends and challenges in the industry, including the role of the products regulator and the implementation of golden thread requirements.
