The Building Safety Act has fundamentally reshaped the responsibilities of architects and design teams. But while the regulatory framework is becoming clearer, many practices are still grappling with what good fire, health and life safety design looks like in day-to-day project delivery.

How can designers move beyond compliance to create genuinely safer buildings? How can fire strategy be embedded from the earliest stages of design? What are the implications for material selection, retrofit, sustainability and specification? And how can architects demonstrate competence while coordinating increasingly complex project teams and supply chains?

Join Architecture Today for a webinar exploring how fire, health and life safety considerations can be successfully integrated throughout the design process, from concept through to construction and occupation.

The session will examine the practical realities of delivering safer buildings in a post-Grenfell and post-Building Safety Act environment, addressing key questions including:

• How are leading practices embedding fire, health and life safety into design culture and decision-making?
• What does competence look like in practice, and how can architects evidence it?
• How can project teams balance fire safety requirements with sustainability, retrofit and net-zero objectives?
• What role do specification, digital tools and manufacturer engagement play in reducing risk and improving coordination?
• How can designers manage fire-critical information throughout a project’s lifecycle?
• What lessons are emerging from Gateway Two submissions and early Building Safety Act projects?
• How can multidisciplinary teams collaborate more effectively to deliver safer outcomes?

Bringing together leading architects, fire specialists, manufacturers and regulatory experts, the webinar will explore the strategies, tools and behaviours needed to embed safety into every stage of project delivery.

As the industry adapts to a new era of accountability, the discussion will demonstrate why fire, health and life safety design is no longer a specialist consideration, but a core architectural responsibility that influences every aspect of building performance and quality.
