‘ MASTERING THE BUILDING SAFETY ACT’ CPD
TURNING COMPLIANCE INTO DESIGN LEADERSHIP
Reynaers Aluminium UK, a leading manufacturer of sustainable architectural aluminium systems, has unveiled a new CPD to support confident specification of glazing systems and facades under the Building Safety Act( BSA).
In its latest CPD, titled‘ Mastering the Building Safety Act: Architects, Glazing Systems, Safe Passage, and Holding the Golden Thread’ Reynaers explores how the BSA affects both the specification and design of glazing and façade systems.
The third CPD in a series written by an architect for architects, the CPD was developed by Vice President of the Manchester Society of Architects Paul Iddon and provides practical insights into the changing role of architects under the BSA.
This latest CPD from Reynaers explains how to manage the golden thread and highlights the elevated role of the Principal Designer- whose responsibility has an increased focus on compliance and structural integrity as a result of the BSA.
By using real project testimony, it demonstrates how early collaboration with manufacturers, a clear specification strategy, and system-level testing can simplify the Gateway process. In addition, the CPD outlines best practice in supplying full technical submissions.
The CPD also outlines the performance standards of Reynaers’ products, as well as its commitment to testing and compliance, and looks at the ways the company’ s expertise supports architects in safe, compliant and responsible building design.
Samantha Hill, Head of Marketing at Reynaers Aluminium UK, said:“ At Reynaers Aluminium, we foster a culture of continuous improvement, which includes investment in training, and collaboration with colleagues in the industry. We do this not only to ensure projects comply with regulatory change such as the BSA, but to safeguard lives and property, helping to develop a high-quality built environment that stands the test of time.
At Reynaers Aluminium, we foster a culture of continuous improvement, which includes investment in training, and collaboration with colleagues in the industry.
“ Our CPDs are designed to support the continuous development of high standards within the industry and underline our commitment to our customers- sharing specialist insights.
“ Following the release of‘ The Best of All Possible Worlds’ towards the end of last year, which focuses on curtain walling, and more recently,“ Memories of Green’ builds upon the popular use of glazed systems to deepen the connection between architecture and the natural world, this new CPD tackles the practicalities of high-spec systems for facades, windows and doors in tall buildings.”
