As part of Etex, we have some of the best building performance experts on our team and the safety of residents and occupiers is our top priority. Coming in the wake of the Hackitt review, and receiving Royal Assent in April 2022, we welcome the Building Safety Act which covers a raft of changes for housebuilders and developers. These include a new system of accountability for safety in projects, a construction products regulator, and a refreshed regulatory framework. It is claimed to be the biggest change in building safety for over 40 years.
The overhaul of regulations will require building owners to demonstrate safety at each of three new ‘gateways’ for planning / design, construction and occupation. Compliance will be monitored by the newly established Building Safety Regulator, with significant powers to demand documents and stop works, and a new National Regulator for Construction Products, with power to remove dangerous products from the market.
EOS can help construction clients meet the stringent demands of Building Regulations through our complete and compliant systems approach.

Helping Housebuilders Comply And Compete
The Building Safety Act makes ground-breaking reforms to give residents and homeowners more rights, powers, and protections – so homes across the country are safer. Many of the detailed provisions in the Act will be implemented over the next two years through a programme of secondary legislation.
We are continually looking at ways to make the building process not only inherently safer but also to offer performance assurances to architects, housebuilders and specifiers to ensure they can provide sufficient levels of protection to occupants.
We have developed an award-winning range of unitised light steel frame systems. By working closely with developers, we are now able to provide real scalable light steel frame residential solutions – delivering precision-engineered homes that meet building safety regulations that can be produced at scale better than, faster than and more cost-efficiently than other market offerings.
