Building Safety Regulator seeks independent chair for Building Advisory Committee

The Building Safety Act 2022 established the BSR in England with a responsibility to facilitate improvement in the standard and safety of all buildings. To do this, the Act enabled the BSR to establish a BAC to provide advice to the former on any building functions, except those functions relating to the competence of individuals in the built environment industry and registered building inspectors.  

The BAC delivers its functions through a high-level steering group, which oversees a number of separate sub-groups focusing on specific areas of work within the BAC’s remit, such as new and emerging issues, trends and innovations across the built environment and advising the BSR on its engagement across the industry to inspire change.

Work is currently underway to transfer the Building Safety Regulator out of the Health and Safety Executive to the Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government as a non-crown, non-departmental public body. This change will take effect during 2026.
