Tue, 10/27/2026 - 15:10
After asking members what was most needed, the recently (Jan 2026) launched BSI Built Environment Competence Hub is to go ahead with producing a guide to competence specifically for SMEs
This Hub is managed by BSI and was developed by BSI in collaboration with the Industry Competence Steering Group (ICSG) and the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) to bring the industry together, support engagement on competence, and make it easier to find and share best practice.
They aim to bring all the key resources, standards, tools, guidance, and competence frameworks needed into one place.
Of the members who voted, 34% wanted an SME guide, 25% sought technical articles on standards, regulation, and legislation, while another 25% wanted guidance for duty holders.
