Climate change, increasingly frequent extreme weather events, ageing infrastructure and evolving regulatory expectations are reshaping how buildings are designed, refurbished and managed. Building resilience is no longer solely about meeting today's compliance requirements. It is about ensuring buildings remain safe, functional, adaptable and economically viable throughout their lifecycle.
This webinar will explore how resilience planning can be integrated into building design and asset management from the earliest project stages. It will examine the role of building surveyors and building control professionals in identifying and mitigating physical, environmental and operational risks, while balancing sustainability, occupant wellbeing, cost and long-term performance. Drawing on current standards, industry guidance and practical examples, the session will provide delegates with an understanding of resilient design principles and how they can be applied across new developments and existing buildings.
