Building Safety Act and Gateway 2 Compliance

Aliva UK recognises the importance of the Building Safety Act, designed to improve building safety standards, ensuring they are planned, constructed and maintained in a way that reduces risks to residents and occupants.

Gateway 2, a critical part of the Act, focuses on the safety of buildings during the design and construction phases, especially for high-rise residential properties. One of Gateway 2’s primary objectives is to ensure building designs and construction practices meet safety standards.

Ensuring system choice is managed to ensure regulatory compliance, minimise risks, improving construction quality, and providing ongoing safety support, which is a key part of the BSA Golden Thread makes Aliva UK an invaluable Gateway 2 compliance partner and system designer.
