Lewisham building safety - FAQs

Do I need to register my building in Lewisham?

Yes. All occupied higher-risk buildings in England, including Lewisham, must be registered with the Building Safety Regulator. Operating an unregistered occupied HRB is a criminal offence.

Building Safety Act or building safety regulations - which applies?

Both. The Building Safety Act 2022 is the framework; the day-to-day duties for higher-risk buildings sit in the regulations made under it, alongside the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. CTS works to all of them.

Does CTS act for the building owner or the contractor?

CTS is independent and client-side: we act solely for the building owner, with no contractor or supplier affiliations.
