Do you need assistance with your Building Safety Case?

Building Safety Cases are essential for ensuring the safety and integrity of your high-rise buildings. A Building Safety Case is a live document that articulates the safety of a building – specifically looking at 3 key areas:

  • Structural Safety
  • Fire Safety
  • Safety Management

The Building Safety Act 2022 places legal duties on the Principal Accountable Persons, to register their High Rise Building (HRBs) with the Building Safety Regulator and to compile a Building Safety Case. This is so the safety of the building can be assessed by the BSR when they call the building in for review. Following the review, the PAP can then apply for a Building Assessment Certificate to declare their building is safe.

We can assist you in preparing comprehensive Building Safety Cases, ensuring peace of mind for your residents and stakeholders.

Protecting Lives and Property through Rigorous Safety Management

Because Building Safety Cases are ongoing live documents that provide a framework for regular review and evaluation of safety procedures, it allows for continuous improvement and ensures any building works are managed safely. We can advise you in what tasks or surveys are required to ensure your building complies. Prioritising building safety shows commitment to the wellbeing of residents, workers, and visitors, creating a safe and secure environment, enhancing the building’s reputation.

Why is it Important?

Legal Compliance

Due to the Building Safety Act 2022, it is mandatory to register higher-risk buildings and have a Safety Case prepared. Building Safety Case typically draws together your documents for Fire Risk Assessments (FRA), Fire Risk Assessment of External Walls (FRAEW) Reports and compartmentation surveys.

Risk Management

By conducting comprehensive risk assessments, a Building Safety Case significantly lowers the chances of accidents, injuries, or damage to property. This process plays a crucial role in pinpointing and addressing hazards and risks, especially those associated with structural integrity and fire safety.

Emergency Preparedness

Addressing emergency preparedness early on is crucial for effectively mitigating and managing risks. A Building Safety Case outlines the necessary emergency response procedures, evacuation strategies, and communication protocols to protect both occupants and first responders during fires and significant incidents.
