A new national resource designed to bring together standards, competence frameworks, guidance and trusted industry insight in one central place has been launched by BSI.

The Built Environment Competence Hub is a national, digital Hub designed to act as a central point of reference for competence-related information.

It brings together key standards, competence frameworks, guidance and insights in one place, designed to help professionals and organizations navigate an increasingly complex regulatory and professional landscape.

Managed by BSI, and developed in collaboration with the Industry Competence Steering Group (ICSG) and the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), the Hub responds to concerns in the sector that competence information is often fragmented, difficult to navigate and inconsistent across roles and disciplines. The Hub aims to address this by providing a shared space for industry to engage on competence, exchange best practice and access authoritative resources that support greater clarity, consistency and confidence across the built environment lifecycle.

Anthony Burd, Director of Built Environment, BSI Knowledge Solutions, BSI, said: “Competence is fundamental to a built environment sector that is safe, trusted and capable of meeting society’s needs. The Built Environment Competence Hub has been designed as a living resource, shaped by ongoing industry input and able to evolve as competence requirements, standards and best practice continue to develop. By improving access to authoritative information and supporting a more consistent understanding of competence, the Hub also aims to play a vital role in helping the sector respond to regulatory reform following the introduction of the Building Safety Act 2022.”

The Hub is open to professionals, organizations and stakeholders across the sector. Users are encouraged to register to access resources, engage with content and stay informed as the Hub develops.
