The Cladding Matters podcast brings together professionals, experts, and industry leaders to discuss building compliance, cladding remediation, and resident engagement, delivered with humility, wit and passion. Joining me today we have the pleasure of welcoming Chris McKay, Director and Façade Fire Safety Lead at Façade Consultancy CBRE. With nearly 12 years of experience in the specific field of facades, we are lucky enough to call Chris a friend of the business and one who is in my opinion as close to an expert on the Building Safety Act 2022 as you can get.

With this in mind, Chris will be updating us on the latest developments in the Act and specifically drilling into why the Golden Thread of Information is so important, with some discussion around how you can go about achieving compliance.
