What is the purpose of the Building Safety Bill?

The primary aim is to improve safety for people in and around buildings by raising building standards throughout design, construction and ongoing management. It creates a framework and a Building Safety Regulator to oversee higher‑risk buildings, with duties on designers, constructors and building owners to manage safety and maintain robust safety information through the building’s life (the so‑called golden thread). This focus on safety and better standards is not about tax regulation, procurement routes, or environmental permits, which is why the purpose described is to make provision about the safety of people in or about buildings and the standard of buildings.
