What is a Building Safety Case?
A Building Safety Case is the evidence-based justification that demonstrates how fire and structural safety risks are identified, assessed, managed, and controlled within a higher-risk residential building.
It forms a key part of the Building Safety Regulator’s assessment process and helps demonstrate that reasonable steps have been taken to prevent and mitigate major incidents.
What is a Building Safety Case Report?
A Building Safety Case Report (BSCR) is a structured summary of the information contained within the wider Building Safety Case.
It provides the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) with an overview of the building, the principal fire and structural safety risks, the control measures in place, and how those risks are being managed.
Who is responsible for preparing a Building Safety Case?
The responsibility typically sits with the Principal Accountable Person (PAP) or other Accountable Persons responsible for the higher-risk building.
Many PAPs appoint specialist consultants, fire engineers, and compliance professionals to help gather information and prepare supporting documentation.
Which buildings require a Building Safety Case?
Building Safety Cases are generally required for higher-risk residential buildings that fall within the scope of the Building Safety Act 2022.
This typically includes residential buildings that are at least 18 metres in height or have seven or more storeys and contain at least two residential units.
What happens if information is missing?
Missing information is one of the most common challenges faced by building owners and property managers.
Examples include:
Where gaps are identified, additional surveys, assessments, or specialist reports may be required to support the Building Safety Case.
How can Compliance Assured help if documentation is missing?
We help identify gaps in your existing information and obtain fixed-scope quotations from appropriately qualified specialists where additional surveys, reports, or technical documentation are required.
This helps property managers and building owners understand what information is missing and the likely cost of obtaining it.
What types of surveys and reports may be required?
Requirements vary between buildings, but commonly requested information may include:
The exact requirements depend on the building’s construction, history, and existing documentation.
What is the Golden Thread?
The Golden Thread refers to the collection of accurate, up-to-date building information that is maintained throughout a building’s lifecycle.
The information should be accessible, understandable, and capable of demonstrating how building safety risks are being managed.
Do I need all information before starting a Building Safety Case?
No.
Many buildings begin the process with incomplete information.
An initial review can identify what information is already available, what is missing, and which additional surveys or reports may be required.
How long does it take to prepare a Building Safety Case?
Timescales vary significantly depending on the size, complexity, and existing documentation available for the building.
Buildings with comprehensive records may progress relatively quickly, while those requiring additional surveys or investigations may take longer.
Can you guarantee approval from the Building Safety Regulator?
No. The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) is the only body that can determine acceptance of a Building Safety Case.
We help ensure your submission is BSR-ready by aligning documentation with regulator expectations and working with experienced fire safety and compliance professionals who regularly support successful submissions and can assist in responding to regulator queries.
Our approach is designed to reduce the risk of rejection and minimise delays caused by incomplete or unclear information.
Do you provide the Building Safety Case Report itself?
The Building Safety Case Report is produced by our accredited, qualified partnered fire engineers as part of the overall service.
What qualifications do the professionals hold?
We work with experienced fire safety and building professionals, including Chartered Fire Engineers, fire risk assessors, façade specialists, structural engineers, and other competent consultants.
Professionals are vetted for qualifications, professional body memberships, and appropriate insurance before being introduced to clients.
Do I receive due diligence information with my quotation?
Yes.
Due diligence information is provided with quotations, helping you verify professional qualifications, insurance, memberships, and relevant experience before appointing a specialist.
How do I get started?
Simply request a no-obligation review of your building information.
We can help identify potential gaps, discuss likely requirements, and obtain quotations for any surveys, reports, or specialist services needed to support your Building Safety Case.
