The specialists we work with can provide:
1. Submit Building Information
Provide key information about the building, including location, height, number of storeys, occupancy, construction details, and any existing fire or structural safety documentation available. This information is used to understand the building profile and establish the likely requirements.
2. Specialist Review & Quotations
The building information is reviewed by suitable building safety professionals within our network. Based on the information provided, specialists assess the likely scope of work required and provide quotations for complete Building Safety Case support, including consultation, gap analysis, Safety Case development, Building Safety Case Report preparation, and ongoing support where required.
3. Consultation & Information Review
Understanding the building safety arrangements
Following appointment, a consultation is undertaken with the selected specialist to review the available information in more detail, discuss existing safety arrangements, and identify any additional information that may be required
4. Gap Analysis
Identifying missing information and actions
A structured review of existing documentation is carried out to identify gaps in information, outstanding assessments, missing records, and any further surveys or investigations that may be required to support the Building Safety Case.
5 Building Safety Case Development
Collating safety information and risk management arrangements
Relevant fire safety, structural safety, building management, inspection, maintenance, and risk control information is brought together to form the Building Safety Case. This demonstrates how building safety risks are identified, assessed, managed, and monitored.
6. Building Safety Case Report
Documenting the Building Safety Case
The Building Safety Case Report summarises the building information, identified risks, control measures, and management arrangements. It provides documented evidence of how building safety risks are being managed in accordance with the Building Safety Act 2022.
7. Ongoing Support
Maintaining building safety information
Where required, ongoing support can be provided to assist with maintaining and updating the Building Safety Case as the building changes, new information becomes available, or further reviews are required.
A Building Safety Case is the evidence-based approach used to demonstrate that fire and structural safety risks within a Higher-Risk Building are understood, assessed, and being effectively managed.
Rather than being a single document, the Safety Case is a collection of information, assessments, policies, procedures, and evidence that demonstrate how building safety risks are controlled throughout the life of the building.
The Building Safety Case Report summarises this information and explains to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) how the Principal Accountable Person is managing and reducing risks to residents and others who may be affected by the building.
Building Safety Cases are generally required for Higher-Risk Buildings under the Building Safety Act 2022, typically residential buildings that are:
The Principal Accountable Person is responsible for ensuring an appropriate Building Safety Case is in place and maintained throughout the building’s occupation.
A Building Safety Case brings together information from across a building to demonstrate how fire and structural safety risks are identified, assessed, managed, and monitored throughout the building’s lifecycle.
This includes building information such as construction details, occupancy, layout, and safety-critical systems; fire and structural safety information including risk assessments, external wall assessments, surveys, investigations, and compliance records; and risk management arrangements covering risk evaluation, control measures, inspections, maintenance procedures, emergency arrangements, and resident engagement. It also documents safety management responsibilities, accountability arrangements, competency information, and ongoing review processes.
All relevant information should be maintained through the Golden Thread, ensuring accurate and up-to-date records are available to support effective decision-making and ongoing building safety management.
