Building Safety Act consultant in Lambeth
Lambeth includes significant high-rise residential stock around Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Brixton.
Lambeth's tall-building growth is concentrated in the Vauxhall, Nine Elms and Battersea corridor, alongside high-rise estates in Brixton, Streatham and Waterloo.
The local authority in Lambeth is the London Borough of Lambeth. For higher-risk buildings, however, building control and the register of occupied HRBs sit with the Building Safety Regulator, not the council - a change many Lambeth owners and managing agents are still adjusting to.
As an independent, client-side advisor with no contractor or supplier affiliations, CTS provides independent, client-side BSA compliance support to achieve and maintain compliance, with findings recorded to a BSR-ready golden thread on the CTS BuildSafe platform.
