Supporting Subcontractors to Meet the Requirements of the Building Safety Act

The Building Safety Act 2022 is raising the bar for everyone in construction. It’s no longer enough to deliver good work on site – subcontractors must now prove competence, implement robust systems and processes, and demonstrate that their supply chains meet the same standards.

The Act focuses on the technical competence of those designing and constructing buildings – whether that’s new-build housing, fit-outs, or refurbishments. All projects are in scope.

For many subcontractors, this creates new challenges:

  • How do we build the right processes to evidence compliance?
  • What systems are needed to capture competence, training, and product traceability?
  • How do we ensure our supply chains don’t create risk or cost us tenders?

That’s where MLA can help
