Expert compliance from the ground up
The Building Safety Act is a challenge for the whole of the UK building industry, causing significant delays in projects, particularly in the signoff between Gateway 2 (Design) and Gateway 3 (Construction) of High-Risk Building (HRB) projects. This ensures a greater focus on best practice in delivering building projects and provides clear guidelines on how buildings should be constructed, maintained and made safe. This best practice approach plays into Reynaers strengths. From design to delivery, Reynaers’ expertise will give you assurance through each stage of your project.

Reynaers Technology Centre
60 Years of Excellence
With over 60 years of Group operations, Reynaers Aluminium has supported iconic building projects worldwide. All of our products undergo comprehensive testing at the Reynaers Technology Centre in Duffel, which is one of the largest third party accredited façade test facilities in Europe. This testing is independently verified and collated into an extensive library of test data. We also arrange for independent UK testing when required, as well as the opportunity for bespoke testing on project-specific solutions.
Our Building Safety Act CPD
This CPD explores how the Building Safety Act (BSA) affects the specification and design of glazing and façade systems, and how architects can work confidently within the new compliance framework.
It explains the duties of the Principal Designer (Building Regulations) role and how to manage the Golden Thread — maintaining traceable performance evidence, verified product data, and transparent design documentation from concept to completion.
Using real project examples, the session shows how early collaboration with glazing manufacturers, a clear specification strategy, and system-level testing can simplify Gateway 2 approvals, reduce compliance risk, and deliver safer, better-performing buildings.
