Building Safety Five Years On: Lessons Learned and What Comes Next

Five years into building safety reform, one truth is clear: a Safety Case Report is only as good as the audit behind it. Too much of what's on offer in the market is little more than an expensive document-writing service, work that produces paperwork without ever testing whether the building is genuinely safe.
In this session, Dr Krish Parmar draws on Elevate Building Safety's experience delivering Safety Case Regimes to look at what good actually looks like: auditing before authoring, and why the Golden Thread only works once you know what you're managing and what needs recording. He'll cover the regulator's shift from the HSE to MHCLG, and why that changes process, not the underlying demand for robust evidence. With Residential Management Companies now carrying more building safety responsibility than ever, he'll also look at how proportionate, commercially realistic support can be structured for RMCs navigating this regime. The session closes on the mindset shift that matters most: a Safety Case isn't a document you file. It's a living system you maintain.
