Building Safety Act 2022 Compliance

The Building Safety Act introduced a strict regulatory framework requiring a Building Assessment Certificate to confirm that buildings meet safety requirements.

Building Safety Manager Services

Our Building Safety Managers hold a Chartered Institute of Building Level 6 Diploma in Building Safety Management, ensuring expertise in:

• Managing safety protocols for occupied buildings.
• Developing comprehensive Building Safety Cases.
• Evidencing compliance with the ‘Golden Thread of Information’.

Building Safety Case & Report

A Gap Analysis is the first crucial step in preparing a Building Safety Case, ensuring all necessary safety measures are in place.

• Identifies missing safety documentation.
• Ensures the Principal Accountable Person (PAP) remains legally compliant.
• Helps mitigate risks in line with the Building Safety Act.
• Fully prepared Safety Case & Report submission to the Building Safety Regulator.

Resident Engagement Strategy

A strong Resident Engagement Strategy is key to ensuring fire and structural safety measures are well-communicated and understood by occupants. Our tailored strategy includes:

• Clear fire safety communication plans.
• Regular updates and resident engagement sessions.
• Compliance with best practices for building safety transparency.

Mandatory Occurrence Reporting

Under the Building Safety Act 2022, Principal Accountable Persons must report specific safety risks and incidents to the Building Safety Regulator.

• We develop Mandatory Occurrence Reporting strategies, ensuring full legal compliance and timely notifications.

Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) & Remediation Projects

What is the Cladding Safety Scheme?

• Supports buildings 11 to 18 metres in height.
• Funds the remediation or mitigation of unsafe external wall systems.
• Financed via the Building Safety Levy, expected to raise £3 billion.

Scheme Timeline & FCL’s Role

• Homes England proactively targeted eligible pilot projects.
• The scheme fully opened on 24 July 2023 for all qualifying buildings.
• FCL has been selected as a panel assessor to conduct FRAEW assessments, contributing to a safer future for UK buildings.
