What you must do

As an accountable person or principal accountable person for a high-risk residential building, you must:

  • keep information about the building
  • manage the record-keeping system to store the information

 

The information you must keep about a building are its:

  • health and safety file
  • safety case and safety case report
  • residents’ engagement strategy
  • mandatory occurrence reporting system

 

If you have them, you should keep other information or documents, such as:

  • information about refurbishments to the building
  • information about the building from previous owners (including any inspection reports and maintenance records)
  • what standard the building was built to, for example, which building regulations were current at the time

 

Gathering and keeping this information will help you assess and manage building safety risks for the parts of the building you are responsible for. The information will help support your safety cases and safety case reports.

You must be able to:

  • show how you assess and manage building safety risks in the building, which include the spread of fire and structural failure
  • show that you know how to update and maintain the information for the building
  • understand the fire strategy for the parts of the building you are responsible for

 

You must manage and store information about a building, so that it is:

  • kept digitally
  • secure from unauthorised access
  • available when someone needs the information
  • presented in a way someone can use
  • a building’s single source of truth
  • accessible, by providing the information in a simple format that is easy to understand and written in plain English
  • compliant with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

How can BlockPro help?

Building Safety Act

Your residential block single source of truth

For high-rise blocks, the Building Safety Act 2022 requires you to collate and store specific information about your building. Collectively, this information is known as the golden thread of information. The golden thread must be:

  • accurate
  • up to date
  • kept digitally
  • kept securely
  • a building’s single source of truth
  • available to people who need the information to do a job
  • available when the person needs the information
  • presented in a way that person can use

Digital storage of your building safety case

Accountable persons must keep the following information up to date and in an easily accessible, digital format.

  • Basic building information
  • Health and safety file (if available)
  • Construction information
  • Refurbishment and other changes
  • Resident profiles
  • Services and utilities
  • Structural safety information
  • Risk management (incorporating a safety management system)
  • Missing information

Building Safety Act

Integrated resident engagement tools

BlockPro includes tools to make resident engagement a breeze.

Comply with requirements under the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 for occupied high-rise residential blocks.

Building Safety Act

Integrated mandatory occurrence reporting system

BlockPro allows all residents, accountable persons and others who use the building to instantly report incidents.

Notifications are automatically sent via email for review and action – then logged for future reference.

Similarly, the Building Safety Act stipulates residents and others should have access to a complaints system to raise concerns about something that could cause a building safety incident.

BlockPro integrates such a system which runs alongside the mandatory occurrence feature.

BlockPro Mandatory occurrence reporting system with QR code

Easy to use

An automatically generated to-do list (colour coded by priority) guides you through exactly what is due and when.

Once completed, BlockPro reminds you to upload documents/ reports (where required), saves them in the correct place, then automatically schedules a reminder for the next due date.

It’s like having your own virtual personal assistant.

Never miss another deadline

Recurring tasks, remedials, renewals and more can add up to hundreds of things to remember at once.

BlockPro helps you remember and prioritise them all efficiently so no missing deadlines, renewals and other important tasks.

Admin overview of the entire portfolio

Get a real-time overview of all tasks across all blocks and property managers at a glance from within your dashboard.

Filter by block, category or property manager – especially useful for compliance monitoring, or when property managers are on leave.

Additionally, choose to approve or reject files/ documents uploaded by property managers.

No more missing documents

Have you ever needed a document only to find it isn’t where it should be?

So have we.

BlockPro prompts you to upload documents, contracts, reports and other important files – then automatically saves them in the right place for when you (or someone else) needs them.

Run alongside your existing accounting software

Keep your accounting solution focused on what it does best.

Stop relying on your memory and spreadsheets

Spreadsheets are insecure and only useful if kept up-to-date. Memories are often inconsistent and unreliable.

BlockPro automates tasks and reminders to ease admin and cognitive load, whilst keeping a record to refer back to.

Not just for high-rises

Use BlockPro to track and record all your health & safety, compliance and other important recurring tasks; remedials; service contracts and more regardless of building height.
