Industry leaders voiced concerns about competence and resourcing challenges at the Building Safety Regulator during a panel at today’s Building the Future conference.

Speaking on a panel titled ‘The future of building safety’, Andy Mullins, head of quality at the Hill Group, said that there is a resource and competence issue at the Building Safety Regulator (BSR).  

Mullins said: “I don’t think the regulator is currently competent”, stating that “a lot of their staff don’t have a great deal of knowledge in building control”.
