Join us for an insightful exploration into the evolving landscape of building safety at our upcoming AJ Building Safety Masterclasses

These Masterclasses are a series of short, CPD accredited online sessions replacing our previously successful Fire Safety Design online conference.

Recognising the implications of the Grenfell Tower disaster and the critical importance of fire safety within a wider context of building safety, our new masterclasses will delve into best practices, emerging trends, and shed light on the key provisions of the Building Safety Act, and its anticipated impact.

With a keen focus on the latest legislation outlined in the Act, these events promise to delve deep into the implications, challenges, and opportunities brought forth by these new regulations.  

The masterclasses will examine a range of important building safety topics through the lens of the architect’s role, with fire design remaining a central thread running through each event.

• Masterclass one: Mastering the Evolved Responsibilities of the Principal Designer Role under the Building Safety Act
• Masterclass two: Safe and Sustainable: Navigating Fire Risks and The Use of Timber in Architecture
• Masterclass three: Mastering Building Safety: Deep Dive into Safety-Critical Elements
