Ark and the BPF are working in partnership to provide a support programme for members who will be grappling with the implementation of the Building Safety Bill.
in our first webinar, we explored "Getting ahead of the new safety regulatory regime by exploiting technology!"
Catch up with our expert panel, Rosalind Benjamin CEO and Founder of Ark, David Hills Senior Director of Ark and Ian Fletcher Director of Policy for the BPF, for a fascinating and incredibly insightful presentation explaining why technology will play such a pivotal role in the new building safety regime and the pathways to compliance
