The Building Safety Levy - Navigating the New Requirements

Introduction

The Building Safety Levy (Levy) came into force on 1 October 2026. Part of the complex machinery of the Building Safety Act (BSA), together with secondary legislation, the Levy brings new duties and obligations for industry to get to grips with. Everyone involved should be aware of what it entails and how it may affect projects and transactions going forward.

This updated 1.5-hour virtual seminar will explain what the Levy is, why it was brought in and its key features and legal requirements. It will then build on this by looking at priority activities for industry to undertake as a project or transaction progresses and how the Levy fits into the rest of the BSA. The session will close with key takeaways.

This course is suitable for everyone who works in, or advises on, construction projects, or is responsible for risk management and asset management. Those involved in finance/funding, compliance and insurance would also benefit. Those on the frontline of resident communications and interaction, such as property managers, would also find it useful.
