Chapter sponsor, Beale & Co, has organized a series of lunch time webinars for December and January, looking at a number of key industry topics.

When: Wednesday 2 December, 12:30 - 13:30
Where: Online
CES Credits - 1.0 (TBC)

Description

Will Buckby and Ian Masser will discuss the ongoing industry challenges surrounding external wall fire safety on buildings over 18m in height. The position in relation to new developments is now relatively clear given the 2018 Building (Amendment) Regulations, which banned the use of combustible materials anywhere on buildings over 18m in height. But what about the significant number of existing buildings that already contain combustible materials? Construction professionals will be familiar with the Form EWS1 and how this is being promoted as the solution. We at Beale & Co are not so sure.

The session will cover a history lesson of the changes to UK building regulations post the tragic Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017, as well as discussing the legal and practical implications of the Form EWS1.
