We are pleased to announce that Podium has secured BSA Gateway 2 approval from the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) for the refurbishment of Wiltshire House, a 17-storey residential block in Brighton. The achievement is particularly significant given that successful existing HRB refurbishment applications currently run at just 19% (HSE figures).

Podium is pleased to welcome Marialena Kougia, Chartered Architect, as our new Senior Project Manager. Marialena joins with a wealth of experience as an architectural assistant and architectural designer and is currently studying the Principal Designer (HRB) course with RIBA.

Podium has recently secured a new commission with Anglian Windows to assist them in obtaining planning permission to replace the windows on 30 residential blocks across the South of England. The blocks are owned, managed and operated by a leading registered provider, and all of the properties are located within conservation areas.

Precise building measurements are fundamental when determining compliance requirements under the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA 2022) and related fire safety regulations. Understanding whether your property qualifies as a 'higher-risk building', 'relevant building', or falls outside these categories is critical for implementing appropriate safety protocols and safeguarding residents.
