Building Safety: a giant and a long horizon

This month’s newsletter focusses on “Building Safety” (a growing element of Ridgemont’s practice) with pieces about the Government’s response to the Grenfell Tower Public Enquiry Phase 2 report and the widening scope of regulatory change from fire safety on to the next risk issue – building structure (loadings on a building, and the construction of the structural elements including the foundations, walls, floors, roofs and chimneys). We also review our time at MIPIM 2025.
As always please contact Tim Seal (Head of Construction) with any matters upon which you or your contacts need specialist construction law advice. Tim’s contact details are tseal@ridgemont.co / 0203 909 9592.
