Building Safety Levy: What You Need to Know Before October 2026

Introduction

The Building Safety Levy (Levy) comes into force in October 2026. As part of the complex framework of the Building Safety Act (BSA) and its secondary legislation, it has been a challenging element for the industry to get to grips with. The Levy will introduce new duties and obligations and everyone should be aware of what it entails and how it might affect them.

This new 1.5-hour online Learn Live will explain what the Levy is, why it is being introduced, the key dates to diarise and the key legal requirements. It will then build on this by looking at the priority activities the industry should undertake and how the Levy fits within the wider BSA framework. The session will conclude with key takeaways.

This Learn Live is suitable for everyone who works in, or advises on, construction projects, or is responsible for risk management or asset management. Those involved in finance and funding, compliance, or insurance would also benefit. It will also be useful for those on the frontline of resident communications and engagement, such as property managers.
