Considered a milestone in building safety regulation, the Building Safety Act became law in April 2022 in response to the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017.

There are so many ways we can make a difference implementing sustainable practices and technologies to mitigate the environmental impact. From constructing buildings with smaller carbon footprints to developing systems that monitor and reduce pollution, there’s no shortage of options.

The regeneration of Cody Dock is an inspiring story of community, creativity and determination, and Matter is proud to be part of it. Our founder Christina talks about working with Cody Dock to transform an abandoned wasteland into a thriving hub for the local community.
