Baumit provides practical technical support, specification guidance, and project-specific documentation to help you navigate the requirements of the Building Safety Act and prepare for Gateway 2 with confidence.
From early design through to construction, our team works alongside you to ensure the right information, systems, and support are in place to help demonstrate compliance and keep your project moving.
The Building Safety Act introduces a more rigorous approach to safety, accountability, and compliance across the lifecycle of higher-risk buildings. It places greater responsibility on dutyholders to demonstrate that buildings are designed and constructed in line with current regulations.
For project teams, this means providing clearer evidence, better coordination, and more robust technical information at every stage. Early engagement and well-prepared documentation are now essential to avoid delays and ensure a smoother approval process.
The Building Safety Act places specific requirements on higher-risk buildings, including:
Understanding whether your project falls within scope is a key first step in planning for compliance and Gateway approvals.
Understanding whether your project falls within scope is a key first step in planning for compliance and Gateway approvals.
Gateway 2 is a critical pre-construction stage where detailed information must be submitted to the Building Safety Regulator to demonstrate compliance with building regulations.
Construction work on higher-risk buildings cannot begin until approval has been granted. This stage requires a coordinated and comprehensive submission, including clear specifications, technical data, and supporting evidence.
Getting this right early helps reduce risk, avoid delays, and maintain project momentum.
Baumit works as a practical partner to help you prepare for Gateway 2 by providing the technical insight and documentation needed to support your submission.
Preparing for Gateway 2 requires clear, structured information. Baumit can support you in accessing the technical materials needed to strengthen your submission, including:
Providing accurate and consistent information early can help reduce queries during the approval process.
Delays at Gateway 2 are often caused by incomplete or unclear submissions. By working with Baumit early in the design process, you can help minimise common issues such as:
Our aim is to support a more streamlined process by helping you access the information you need, when you need it.
