Navigating the Building Safety Act: Streamlining Compliance with Radcliffes Construction Consultants

• Introduction

The implementation of the Building Safety Act in 2022 has presented clients with existing buildings and portfolios with a complex and confusing process to navigate. At Radcliffes, we understand the challenges faced and are committed to providing comprehensive solutions to help comply with the new regulations. By combining our expertise in project management, BIM, information management, and design with operations technology, we offer a streamlined approach through the process.

• Audit

Understanding what you have and identifying what is missing is crucial. Our toolkit and extensive checklist will assist you in gathering the necessary information and establishing a comprehensive information hub as a single source of truth. We will conduct a thorough review of existing data and provide a summary of the gaps, outlining how we can obtain the required information.

• Plan

Based on our audit and analysis, we will develop a detailed plan for the update project and manage the outcomes effectively. Through our partnerships with key consultants and contractors, we can assemble the right team tailored to specific project needs. Our plan will encompass how the information will be managed and maintained, ensuring a continuous golden thread of information for buildings.

• Action

Building the full information set required for the Building Safety Case and Report involves multiple parties. We can oversee the entire process, ensuring the information is managed and verified following standardised protocols. By employing our expertise, the information will be easily traceable, accessible, and maintained for future use.

• Submit

With the verified information ready, we will guide your accountable person through the submission process and subsequent liaison with the Building Safety Regulator (BSR). We will manage any updates requested until the Building Safety Certificate has been issued, ensuring a smooth and efficient compliance journey.

• Maintain

Upon completion, you will possess a well-structured, digitised pack of information that can seamlessly integrate with CAFM, Digital Twins, and other third-party systems. As part of our strategy, we will advise you on maintaining the information to remain compliant. Our regular information audits will verify if major changes are required, providing you with peace of mind that your building's information is up-to-date and accessible in one centralized location.

Customisation and Future Proofing:

We recognise that each client has unique requirements, and our experience with various buildings allows us to tailor our strategy accordingly. By leveraging our expertise in design, digital twin technology, operations (IWMS, CMMS, CAFM), and smart technologies, we not only upgrade your existing information but also future-proof it for further opportunities and return on investment.
