Jane discusses how Grenfell was a ‘turning point’ for building safety, and she and Howard explore how architects, construction teams and building owners can work together to understand and prioritise fire safety from the very start of a project.Drawing on her own experiences, Jane also shares her thoughts on the draft Building Safety Bill and the action that is still needed to support architects in building fire competency.To find out more, listen to this month’s episode or visit our Know Your Building campaign page here:  www.thefpa.co.uk/know-your-building
