BUILDING SAFETY ACT & SAFETY CASES
Higher-risk building support, coordinated end to end.
Registration, the safety case, the resident engagement strategy, the evidence the Regulator expects. For most teams this can't sit alongside the day job. We coordinate the programme from initial assessment through to submission support.

THE PROBLEM
A new regime, on top of everything else
The Building Safety Act asks Accountable Persons to do something genuinely hard: build and maintain a safety case that demonstrates a higher-risk building is being managed safely, and prove it to a Regulator with real teeth.
It's not a form-filling exercise. It demands assessment, evidence, ongoing management and resident engagement, and it lands on teams who already have full-time jobs running buildings. Done badly, it's a compliance risk in its own right.
Not sure what's a legal duty here and what's only guidance? Here's how it stacks up.
WHAT WE DO
From registration to a defensible safety case
Registration support
Getting higher-risk buildings registered correctly, with the right information in the right place from the start.
Safety case development
Building the safety case that demonstrates the building is being managed safely, structured the way the Regulator expects.
Assessment & gap analysis
Establishing where the building actually stands against the regime, and what's needed to close the gap.
Regulated works oversight
Driving the works needed to address identified building safety gaps, commissioned and reviewed independently.
Resident engagement strategy
The engagement duties the Act requires, handled and documented, so residents are informed and the evidence holds.
Through to submission
We drive the programme on a timeline from assessment all the way to submission, not drifting towards a deadline.
WE KNOW THE REGIME
Built to meet the Regulator's expectations
We understand what the Building Safety Regulator is actually looking for, not just what the legislation says on paper. That means a safety case structured to withstand regulatory scrutiny, evidence structured the way it needs to be, and a programme driven on a timeline rather than drifting towards a deadline.
We also make sure residents are properly engaged throughout, which matters both ethically and as evidence the building is being managed the way the Act intends.
OmniFire supports AP and PAP duties but does not remove or transfer the statutory responsibility from the duty-holder.
Whether you need the full programme driven or a specific piece reviewed, we can scope it to where you are.

Resident engagement & PEEPs
A safety case has to evidence how residents are informed and supported. We handle the duty and the record.
