About this site

This is independent guidance on the Building Safety Act 2022. We are not affiliated with HM Government, the Building Safety Regulator or MHCLG. We read the legislation, the guidance and the data so you do not have to, and we tell you what it means on site.

Who writes it

Every guide is written by Chris Maloney, senior construction project manager, with 20+ years of Tier 1 delivery, 500m pounds+ of built work. The point of view here is deliberately that of the practitioner, not the law firm or the marketing agency. When we say what to do about a Gateway 2 rejection or a Gateway 3 evidence gap, it is because we have been on the projects where it matters.

Who publishes it

This site is published by AI Metric Ltd. It is built by the team behind Construction Metric, the contemporaneous site-records platform. We think that is a credential, not a conflict: the people writing this guidance are the people who build the tools practitioners use to keep the records the regime demands. Where a page recommends Construction Metric, it is a single, clearly labelled recommendation card, never an advertisement, and never at the expense of telling you what the regime actually requires.

How we verify facts

Every regulatory fact, date, fee and statistic on this site is checked against primary sources at the time of writing: the legislation on legislation.gov.uk, government guidance on gov.uk, and the published data from the Building Safety Regulator. We cite primary sources, not aggregators. Each editorial page carries a visible verified date, and statistics pages carry a data-verified stamp and a link to the source.

How we keep it current

The regime moves, and stale regulatory guidance is worse than none. We run a quarterly full review sweep, and we update data pages within days of a new Building Safety Regulator release. Anything we cannot verify is either cut or flagged as unconfirmed. Our sources are listed on the resource library.

Corrections

We would rather be corrected than wrong. If you spot something out of date or inaccurate, tell us on the contact page, and we will fix it and note the change. Corrections to substantive facts are made promptly and the verified date is updated.

Not legal advice

Everything on this site is information, not legal advice. It is written to help you understand the regime and ask better questions. Decisions about a specific building, contract or liability need advice from people who have seen the specifics of your situation.
