    Discover the key to creating bespoke and simple Building Safety Case Reports

    From April 2024, the Building Safety Regulator has started to call up building safety case reports as part of the building assessment certificate process. This means at any time you could now be requested to submit your safety case reports, mandatory occurrence reporting information, and resident engagement strategy. You will have 28 days to submit these documents from the date of instruction, failure to do so could be a breach of the Building Safety Act 2022.

    The purpose of the safety case report is to provide assurance to the Building Safety Regulator and your organisation that your buildings are safe and being managed safely. Need a helping hand? We’re here to work in collaboration with your organisation to make the complex, simple. With our expert insight to guide you through the development process, we will facilitate and guide you so that you have the knowledge to understand each element of your safety case report. 

    We will help you to consider all aspects of building safety risks such as resident profiles, structural safety, fire safety, and organisational management, to comply with the Building Safety Act 2022. You will gain invaluable insight into the lessons we’ve learnt and best practices developed from helping organisations across the sector with their safety case reports, giving you the assurance that your report is robust and representative of your building’s risks. 

    How we will help you develop you safety case report... 

    Our role is to facilitate the process of capturing the information that demonstrates the buildings are safe. This includes prompting you on the key things to think about and include, as well as challenging your assumptions, claims, and evidence where appropriate. The outcome will be a safety case report document for each building.

    Stage 1: You and key members of your team will meet and work in collaboration with our experts to fully understand your requirements and set out the full project delivery plan in a terms of reference document.

    Stage 2: We will review key documents and data that you have gathered about your building(s), and ask you questions about how you manage your building(s).

    Stage 3: The information gathered throughout the process will be collated to help you produce a safety case report for each building. 

    No matter where you are on your building safety journey, our experts can help: 

    •   Starting your building safety journey from scratch? We can undertake a building safety gap analysis to assess your organisation's current position and provide an action plan to address any gaps.
