Introduction
In recent times, the safety and compliance of buildings have gained paramount importance in the construction industry.

The Building Safety Act: A Turning Point in Building Safety
The Building Safety Act, introduced recently, marks a significant shift in how buildings are designed, constructed, and maintained. Its core objective is to enhance the safety of residents and workers within buildings, placing a more substantial emphasis on compliance and accountability.
Why Building Safety Matters
The safety of a building is a non-negotiable aspect of construction. While aesthetics and functionality are essential, they must not come at the expense of safety. The Building Safety Act reflects the evolving priorities of the industry, acknowledging the need for a comprehensive approach to safety.
Harper Architects, with its extensive experience in designing and overseeing construction projects, understands the critical importance of building safety. We are committed to meeting and exceeding the standards set forth by the Building Safety Act to ensure that the buildings we design in Knowle and Solihull including surrounding villages are not only aesthetically pleasing and functional but also safe and compliant.
Compliance at the Forefront
The Building Safety Act imposes rigorous compliance requirements on property owners, developers, and architects. It encompasses various aspects, including fire safety, structural integrity, and risk management. This new regulatory framework ensures that no aspect of safety is overlooked.
For Harper Architects, compliance with the Building Safety Act is more than just a requirement; it’s a commitment to the community.
