The topic of conversation for this podcast is the Building Safety Act 2022, a landmark piece of legislation with far reaching implications for the construction sector.
The act is extensive with more than enough content for 10 podcasts so this time we are going to look specifically at limitation periods for claims and what it means for construction firms' liability.
To help tackle this subject, Tom Barney from our Construction and Property Indemnity team is joined by Laurence Paddock from our legal and technical team and special guest Jonathan Carrington, a senior associate at law firm RPC.

Equip yourself with knowledge critical for insolvency practitioners and property receivers, as they dissect the Act's origins, zero in on higher-risk buildings, and introduce the pivotal role of the new Building Safety Regulator. This episode isn't just talk; it's an invaluable toolkit brimming with practical advice to help construction and insolvency professionals maintain an unbreakable chain of information and understand the construction spectrum's varied responsibilities.
Venturing further into the construction process, they scrutinize the Building Safety Act's three gateways and their distinctive implications for those in the throes of insolvency and construction. The conversation crescendos when confronting the third gateway, where compliance and meticulous documentation can mean the difference between success and costly oversights. With their expertise, they strategize on safeguarding essential documents, leveraging digital tools, and preparing for the Act's potential to hold individuals accountable.
