In light of the Building Safety Act 2022, and subsequent legislation, ensuring substantiated specification and accurate system coordination is more critical than ever. This webinar will delve into the essential role of system and detail design and the need to accurately co-ordinate service openings to mitigate non-compliance risks.
We will explore how correct specification and installation of building services are key to maintaining effective fire compartmentation through interior partition systems. Additionally, we will emphasise the importance of design-stage consideration for firestopping to prevent complications during construction.
Join us as we discuss regulatory insights and best practices to support you in designing and delivering your projects.
