The Challenge

The higher-risk building regime introduces new legal duties.

These duties are detailed, evidence based and time sensitive. They require clear systems, accurate information and defensible documentation.

Dutyholders must manage:

  • Registration of higher-risk buildings
  • Building Assessment Certificate applications
  • Assessment and management of building safety risks
  • Safety Case Report development
  • Mandatory Occurrence Reporting
  • Keeping, provision and handover of Golden Thread information
  • Residents Engagement
  • Requests for Further Information
  • Complaints
  • Cooperation and coordination between Accountable Persons
  • Regulatory enforcement and Regulator requests

Getting this wrong is not just an administrative issue. It is a compliance risk.

We help you build the right foundations from the start.
