The publication of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry’s final report is expected on Wednesday 4th September at 11am.

After more than six years of hearings and investigations following the tragic aftermath of the Grenfell Tower Fire, we expect that this report will be a critical point for the UK Construction sector and regulators and, whatever the findings, there is still more for us all to do.

BASA have worked closely with the Construction Products Association (CPA) and will continue to do so to push for not only a cultural change in Construction, but also for better regulation and compliance. We fully support CPA’s work on product traceability, product standards, competence, and transparency in product testing, procurement and specification and marketing under the new building safety regime. Further areas may be identified following a full review of the Grenfell Inquiry’s final report.

We will be updating this news post with our reflections, responses and advice to members.
