Building Design <\/em>writes:<\/p>\n

RIBA warns of flaws in government\u2019s draft Building Safety Bill\u2026<\/p>\n

The government\u2019s draft Building Safety Bill could leave architects liable for others\u2019 work that is procured using design & build contracts, the RIBA has warned.<\/p>\n

Architects could also be expected to sign off projects when they have no legal power to force a contractor to amend work they do not believe to be compliant.<\/p>\n

The Building Safety Bill, the government\u2019s response to the Hackitt Review following the Grenfell Tower fire that killed 72 people, would create dutyholders with legal responsibility for the safety of higher-risk buildings.<\/p>\n

But the way these roles are currently structured could lead to conflicts of interest or the principal designer being expected to sign off work by the contractor they are novated to, warned the RIBA\u2026.<\/p>\n
