About the Group
The National Building Safety Group will develop a framework to achieve the objectives of the Building Safety Bill.
The Building Safety Bill 2019-20 was announced in the Queen's Speech on 19 December 2019 following the Grenfell Tower fire on 14 June 2017.
Its purpose is to put in place new and enhanced regulatory regimes for building safety and construction products and to ensure residents have a stronger voice in the system.
