During building work in an existing building, higher-risk buildings are defined as buildings with at least two residential units, care homes, and hospitals which are at least 18 metres in height or have at least 7 storeys. This definition does not amend definitions of higher-risk buildings in other legislation - for example, the definition for higher-risk buildings in occupation (section 65 of the 2022 Act), which can be found in the Criteria for being a higher-risk building during the occupation phase of the new higher-risk regime. Sections 119 to 125 and Schedule 8 of the 2022 Act define “relevant building” for the purpose of leaseholder protections. We consider hostels which also provide overnight accommodation to customers for leisure or business as a type of hotel and so if a building is used entirely as a hostel, then it is not considered a higher-risk building. Hotels are excluded regardless of how long these buildings are occupied by individuals or groups of customers.
Diagram 6 shows one 7-storey residential tower (tower 6A) and one 5-storey residential tower (tower 6B) attached by a shared basement carpark and a second 7-storey residential tower (tower 6C) attached to tower 6B via a walkway. Tower 6A has: a. in relation to a section of a structure that is not attached to any other structure, that structure;Based on the method for counting storeys in the Regulations, this building is considered 7 storeys and is a higher-risk building as it contains two or more residential units. Gallery floors Diagram 7 shows four 7-storey residential towers on a shared podium. Tower 7A and tower 7B are attached by a party wall, with maintenance access between them. Tower 7C and tower 7D are attached by a party wall, with access regularly used by residents between them. Tower 7A has: Subject to paragraph (4), where two or more structures are attached, that set of structures are a “building”. Overall structure is referred to as wider building in the Regulations. If two or more structures are attached, the overall structure refers to all the attached structures. When a structure is not attached to any other structure, the overall structure means that single structure. If the building being measured sits on uniform flat ground, then ground level is the surface of the ground which is directly adjacent to the building. This is demonstrated in Diagram 8.
Areas such as bin stores are not considered plant rooms. Substations which are not in buildings are also not considered plant rooms. This guidance sets out the criteria for a building to be considered a higher-risk building during building work in an existing higher-risk building. This includes building work to an existing building which will make it a higher-risk building (for example adding storeys) or for a building undergoing a change of use. Higher-risk buildings are subject to the requirements of the new higher-risk regime directly overseen by the Building Safety Regulator (the Regulator). b. in relation to a section within two or more structures that are attached, that set of structures. c) a building that contains living accommodation (either alone or in combination with other accommodation) for—
a) where the level of the surface of the ground on which the building is situated is uniform, the level of the surface of the ground immediately adjacent to the building; or Regulation 2 of the Higher-Risk Buildings (Descriptions and Supplementary Provisions) Regulations 2023 sets out the buildings which are included in the design and construction part of the higher-risk regime. As well as being smooth it’s also lightweight, which meant food went whizzing up the sides and allowed for some impressive chef-style moves in the kitchen.
Subject to paragraph (2), where a structure is not attached to any other structure, that structure is a “building”. ii. only has access to another section of the wider building which does not contain a residential unit. c) any storey consisting of a gallery with an internal floor area that is less than 50% of the internal floor area of the largest storey vertically above or below it which is not below ground level. Towards the top end of the market is this two-handled forged aluminium pan with a super generous 32cm diameter, making it well-suited to families or dinner parties. b) any storey which is a roof-top machinery or roof-top plant area or consists exclusively of roof-top machinery or roof-top plant rooms; and
How we tested
Plant rooms are areas which contain machinery or equipment that provide services to one or more buildings.
The core is the interior elements of a building which provide access to different parts of the building, such as a stair core or lift shaft. Buildings which contain any living accommodation either for His Majesty’s forces, any visiting forces or an international headquarters or defence organisation are also excluded. Building definition b) a building that contains living accommodation provided by the Ministry of Defence (either alone or in combination with other accommodation); Key specs – Material: Heavy gauge, forged aluminium; Handle: Stainless steel; Diameter: 32cm; Weight: 1.7kg; Lid included: No; Seasoning required: No; Dishwasher safe: Yes; Heat sources: All; Ovenproof: Oven safe to 260°C; Guarantee: Lifetime; Extras: None access to another section within the overall structure which does not contain a residential unit (the podium containing shops). The shops and podium can be considered their own section as they are used for a different purpose than the residential towers and have their own egress outside, therefore they are not part of the independent section; and

To understand whether an existing building during building work is a higher-risk building, the 1984 Act as amended by the 2022 Act, and the Regulations need to be considered together. a doorway from tower 7A to another section (tower 7B) within the overall structure used solely for maintenance and not for regular use. This is not considered as doorway access to another section.
