Building Assessment Certificates & The Importance of Structural Safety

The Building Safety Act introduced the requirement for high-rise residential buildings to hold a valid Building Assessment Certificate (BAC) – but as many have discovered, achieving one isn’t straightforward. With reports of buildings failing to meet the expected standards, the implications for dutyholders are significant.

In this session, the team at Tetra explores the key lessons from recent Building Assessment Certificate assessments, including why so many buildings are falling short and what can be done to put things right. Drawing on our expertise and feedback from the Building Safety Regulator, we’ll discuss:

- Common reasons buildings are failing BAC standards
- The link between structural safety, record-keeping, and accountability
- How to prepare your building for successful assessment
- What the BSR is looking for during review

This session is ideal for anyone involved in managing higher-risk buildings – particularly if:

- You’re preparing for or have already submitted a BAC application
- You’re uncertain about structural safety requirements under the BSA
- You want to understand how to address non-compliance

Join us to gain practical insights into the BAC process, common pitfalls to avoid, and how to ensure structural safety is front and centre in your compliance strategy.
