HBF TECHNICAL CONFERENCE PANELS

As well as expert plenary speakers addressing the audience on key issues, this year’s conference will also see two panel discussions take place on both Building Safety and Water Matters

Building Safety Panel

The panel will discuss the issues surrounding the Building Safety Regulator focusing on requirements for those applicants entering Gateway 1, 2 & 3. It will look at housebuilders’ experience of how the new regime is affecting building remedial applications as well as new high rise building applications. The panel will consider what the changes mean for registered and licensed approved inspectors and registered approvers. And it will discuss how software and project management information tools can help with the golden thread and the management of key building information.

Panellists currently include: Hollis, Hunters & Zutec

Water Matters Panel

The panel will look at changes the government is looking at on water efficiency, resilience, engineering of residential developments with attenuation and water demand reduction. It will look at moves towards greater reduction in water use within new build homes and proposed changes to Part G of the Building Regulations.

The panel will discuss the challenges to developers arising from this important issue.

Panellists currently include: CIWEM & WaterRegsUK
