Building safety, managed with clarity and accountability
Building Safety
What the Building Safety Act means for directors
The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced a more stringent regime for higher-risk buildings — defined as residential buildings over 18 metres in height or seven storeys, containing at least two residential units. For directors and accountable persons, it creates real legal duties around fire and structural safety, documentation and resident engagement.
All occupied higher-risk buildings must have at least one clearly identifiable Accountable Person, responsible for ensuring fire and structural safety is properly managed throughout the building. One of the central obligations is the maintenance of a 'golden thread' of building information — kept digitally and kept up to date for the entire lifecycle of the building.
These aren't administrative obligations that can be deferred. Failure to meet them carries real regulatory and legal risk — for the building and for individual directors.
Built for the Building Safety Act, Not adapted to it
Managing high-rise residential buildings today requires a clear understanding of the Building Safety Act — a piece of legislation introduced to ensure the long-term safety of residents in buildings over 18 metres or 7 storeys. It places legal responsibilities on dutyholders and directors to proactively manage fire and structural risks, maintain accurate safety information, and engage transparently with residents. Our platform is built specifically to meet these new requirements, supporting directors and RMCs with every aspect of compliance.
What We Do
Risk identification & mitigation tracking
We support the preparation and maintenance of Building Safety Case Reports — identifying risks, documenting controls and keeping records audit-ready for the Building Safety Regulator.
Live document version control
All safety-critical building information maintained digitally and kept current — so the right information is always available to the right people.
Centralised compliance records
Fire doors, cladding, alarms, inspections and all other safety-related records centralised, organised and up to date in one place.
Resident Engagement
Clear, transparent communication with residents about building safety — meeting the statutory duty to keep residents informed and involved.
Fire Safety Management
Fire risk assessments, remediation tracking and fire safety obligations managed in line with current legislation and best practice.
Building Assessment Certificates
The Building Safety Regulator is issuing Building Assessment Certificates to higher-risk buildings in priority order. We support directors through the process — ensuring documentation is in order and obligations are met when called upon.
Staying compliant as requirements evolve
Building safety compliance isn't a one-off exercise — it requires ongoing management, regular updates and a managing agent who stays on top of a regulatory landscape that continues to evolve.
From September 2026, all new residential buildings over 18 metres must have two staircases — one of several upcoming changes directors need to be aware of. We keep our clients informed of regulatory developments and ensure their buildings remain compliant as requirements change.
