This year’s Annual Review inevitably focuses on the continuing economic and political challenges facing the construction industry. We also look at the Building Safety Act 2022, and the changes to the regulatory regime for the design, procurement, construction, and management of buildings. We discuss the steps being taken to work towards a secure, low-carbon, sustainable energy future, yet still find room to consider the latest developments in the courts from adjudication to Wagatha Christie as well as the FIDIC and NEC forms.
