Updating Contracts for Building Safety Regime
In this short video Partners Sarah Elliott (Head of Construction) and Matthew Pexton explore why standard form contracts, such as JCT, need to be amended to reflect the new Building Safety Act requirements. They discuss key issues including the golden thread, Gateway 2 and 3 responsibilities, and managing delays from Change Control applications. They also highlight the wider impact on both higher-risk buildings and non-higher-risk buildings, and the importance of proactive drafting to address evolving regulatory obligations.
