The Be Safe Suite

The problem we solve

Article 9 of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires every Responsible Person to have a suitable and sufficient Fire Risk Assessment. Across a multi-asset portfolio, commissioning, scheduling and standardising those assessments is a significant procurement and coordination exercise.

How it works

A structured intake captures building typology, occupancy, height, construction era, evacuation strategy, suppression and detection cover. The draft is assembled in your browser from those answers only: it reproduces what you declared, marks it unverified, records a higher-risk screening indication computed from the figures you typed, and lists what is missing, unknown or contradictory. PAS 79 is named for structure only and British Standards are not applied: no authorised copy is held.

What you receive

A downloadable draft containing your declared information, the gaps in it, questions to put to a competent assessor and reading references. It contains no hazard register, no risk score, no rating, no adequacy judgement and no action deadlines, and it is not a Fire Risk Assessment.

Top benefits

• Turns a structured intake into a working draft you can review rather than a blank page
• Uses a consistent section structure across your portfolio
• Sets out reading references so a reviewer can check the source text
• Designed to support the assessment process, not to replace the assessor
• The assessment itself is carried out by a named competent person under written appointment

Example use

Example use: a managing agent preparing lease renewals drafts intakes for a group of buildings in one working session, then routes each draft to a competent assessor for review and sign-off before any reliance is placed on it.

The problem we solve

Under the Building Safety Act 2022 and the secondary regulations for higher-risk buildings, duty-holders must keep, maintain and produce building information. Generic cloud storage rarely provides the classification, activity record and export structure that this information duty implies.

How it works

A private per-building workspace: you upload your own documents, classify them (Design / Construction / Occupation), and the workspace records the version number stored against each document and an activity record of who accessed what and when. You can assemble a structured export bundle per building. Uploading a new version of a document you already hold is currently refused rather than attempted, because version allocation is not yet safe under concurrent uploads.

What you receive

A per-building private workspace holding the documents you uploaded, with classification, the stored version number and activity record for each, and a ZIP export bundle you assemble yourself for review before it is shared.

Top benefits

• Keeps the building information you upload classified in one private place
• Records access so information handling can be reviewed
• Reduces spreadsheet drift across managing agents, contractors and design teams
• Designed to support responses to information requests, which remain the duty-holder's responsibility
• Lets you assemble a handover package yourself for competent review

Example use

Example use: a housing provider holding several higher-risk buildings uploads design, construction and occupation records into per-building workspaces, then assembles an export bundle to check when information is requested.

The problem we solve

Many building owners are unsure which operational duties of the BSA 2022 apply to their building, which runs to hundreds of pages of statute plus secondary regulations. A consultancy gap analysis is normally a separately quoted engagement.

How it works

The higher-risk screening test in the Act is applied to the figures you enter. You then record your own reported position across the Part 4 occupation duty areas — registration, accountable persons, the safety case, mandatory occurrence reporting, the golden thread, residents' engagement, complaints and prescribed information — and each statement links to the primary source on legislation.gov.uk. It runs deterministically: the same answers always give the same review.

What you receive

A source-anchored review of your own reported position, duty area by duty area, with a PDF copy identical to the screen. There is no score, no rating, no colour-coded status and no certification.

Top benefits

• Shows which duty areas apply before a consultancy engagement is scoped
• Surfaces duty areas where you hold nothing yet
• Gives Boards a structured starting point for a risk-committee discussion
• Every statement links to the primary source on legislation.gov.uk
• Records your own reported position; it reaches no compliance verdict

Example use

Example use: a board with higher-risk buildings in its portfolio works through the duty areas ahead of a risk-committee meeting and uses the outstanding areas to frame where professional support is needed.

The problem we solve

The UK fire-safety regime spans the BSA 2022, RRO 2005, Fire Safety Act 2021, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, the HRB Regulations 2023, Approved Document B and further instruments; British Standards are named only, without clause text. Reading two of them against each other, subject by subject, takes substantial research time per project.

How it works

A deterministic lookup, not a semantic engine: you pick two recorded instruments and a comparison date, and the page shows, subject by subject, only what each instrument itself states at an exact section, article or regulation, with the official legislation.gov.uk link and the date that page was read. It assesses nothing, applies no British Standard, infers no obligation and reconstructs no earlier or later wording.

What you receive

An on-screen side-by-side reading of the two instruments you chose, plus a downloadable Legislation Comparison Research Note PDF carrying the same entries and plain-text official links. It gives no compliance verdict and is not a comparator report, obligations matrix, conflict finding or supersession chain.

Top benefits

• Gives a structured starting point for legal or technical research on a matter
• Useful when a building is governed by more than one instrument
• Every entry is quoted to an exact locator with the official link and read date
• Extent and application are kept separate, so a jurisdiction is never implied loosely
• Informational only — not legal advice, and it reaches no conclusion about any building

Example use

Example use: a real-estate solicitor reads the Building Safety Act 2022 and the Fire Safety Act 2021 side by side to frame an initial view, then opens the cited provisions on legislation.gov.uk.

The problem we solve

Procuring fire-safety services without a reference point makes budgeting difficult, because fee levels vary between consultancies and scopes. Most calculators return a single figure without explaining what drives it.

How it works

You enter the project parameters and a versioned assumption registry returns the figures arithmetically. No model, no network call and no narrative writing is involved. The page shows the band next to the inputs it used, the per-service lines, the assumptions, what is included and excluded, the VAT position and the assumption-set version.

What you receive

An indicative commercial fee band shown on screen, with the input snapshot, per-service lines, assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, VAT position and assumption-set version. There is no PDF and no written brief. Indicative only — not a quotation and not a fee offer, and the figures await owner commercial approval.

Top benefits

• Brings an indicative budget reference into the room before an RFP is issued
• Shows the assumptions and per-service lines behind the band instead of one bare figure
• Repeats exactly: the same inputs always return the same figures from a versioned assumption set
• Helps procurement ask better questions of any consultant quotation
• Supports a consistent approach to scoping across multi-site portfolios

Example use

Example use: a retail asset team scoping a remediation programme notes the band and its listed assumptions as background for an internal discussion, with fees confirmed only by written quotation.

The problem we solve

Duty holders are often unsure which fire safety information they are expected to be able to produce for a specific building, and which of it they actually hold.

How it works

A-BESAFE-M10-R1 withdrew the former 0-100 composite indicator, because its weights, divisors and band boundaries had no evidence record and its values were model-authored. In its place, a deterministic review runs in your browser: each recorded information item is tested for scope against the jurisdiction, lifecycle phase and building use you enter, and each in-scope item is recorded as documented, not documented, unknown, or declared not applicable with a stated reason.

What you receive

A per-item readiness review with the provision that puts each item in scope, the official link, the date that page was read, the limitations, and a full trace of how each state was reached. No score, grade, band or total.

Top benefits

• Shows exactly which information is missing or unknown before anyone else asks for it
• Every item names the provision it comes from, with the official link and the read date
• Unknown stays unknown: nothing is assumed in either direction
• Runs entirely in the browser, with no email address and nothing stored
• Unresolved items become a concrete agenda for a free initial consultation

Example use

Example use: an asset manager preparing for a handover reviews which building information is documented and takes the unknown items to the team that holds the records.

The problem we solve

When something happens on site out of hours — a sprinkler activation, a missing fire door closer, a resident query about evacuation — the operative on the ground often has no structured reference to hand, so decisions get made from general search results.

How it works

Click-to-chat hand-off: the page drafts a structured fire-safety enquiry in the site team's own WhatsApp app for them to send. No automated reply and no managed WhatsApp channel are enabled, nothing is sent or stored by the site, and no reply or response time is promised. The templates name UK instruments — BSA 2022, RRO 2005 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 — so the question is specific.

What you receive

A pre-drafted WhatsApp enquiry, ready in your own WhatsApp app for you to send. Nothing is sent, logged or answered automatically, and no reply is promised.

Top benefits

• Brings a structured enquiry format into the channel operatives already use
• Nothing is sent automatically — the operative reviews and sends the message
• Helps site teams frame a question before escalating it to a competent person
• No app install and no separate IT procurement required
• Guidance is general and informational; it is not a competent-person decision

Example use

Example use: a caretaker at a residential higher-risk building drafts an enquiry about an unexplained alarm activation, sends it from their own WhatsApp, and escalates to the duty Building Safety Manager for the decision.

The problem we solve

Buildings with combustible cladding, uncertain compartmentation or incomplete building information have become harder to place in the insurance market. Brokers and owners need to be able to present what they hold consistently.

How it works

A short wizard collects your own declarations about the building — typology, height, cladding system, suppression, compartmentation, assessment recency, evacuation strategy. They are restated back to you as user-provided and unverified, and counted without weighting. Nothing is scored, weighted, rated or priced.

What you receive

A downloadable document setting out what you declared and the questions to put to your own broker or insurer. It contains no insurability rating, no risk band, no premium, no appetite indication and no cover position, and it is not insurance advice or an underwriting decision.

Top benefits

• Gives brokers and owners a consistent way to present what is known about a building
• Separates what is documented from what is merely assumed
• Prepares the questions to put to an insurer before a renewal conversation
• Surfaces controllable factors such as assessment recency, suppression and cladding remediation
• All appetite, terms and pricing are decided by the insurer, not here

Example use

Example use: a broker attaches the document as background to a renewal submission so the underwriter receives a consistent picture, with all pricing and terms decided by the insurer.

The problem we solve

A large share of a Fire Strategy document is sectoral structure and boilerplate, while the value lies in the bespoke design philosophy. Design teams often wait on the whole document before they can discuss the parts that matter.

How it works

A self-service library of 12 sector-specific Fire Strategy templates: Residential HRB, Care Home, Acute Healthcare, Primary/Secondary Education, Higher Education, Office HQ, Industrial Manufacturing, Logistics Warehouse, Retail, Hospitality/Hotel, Heritage and Mixed-Use. Each template generates a Microsoft Word (.docx) document, server-side, pre-populated with the standard sections: project particulars, regulatory framework, design philosophy, means of escape, structural fire protection, compartmentation, FD&A, smoke control, suppression, firefighting facilities, façade strategy and fire-service intervention.

What you receive

Editable Microsoft Word (.docx) Fire Strategy template with cross-references to the BSA 2022, RRO 2005, Approved Document B and the HRB Regulations 2023. British Standards sections are left for the competent designer: no authorised copy is held, so no clause or conformity content is supplied. Carries a unique reference code MO7-FST-{SECTOR}-{YYYYMMDD}-{XXXX}. A template for completion by a competent designer — not a project Fire Strategy.

Top benefits

• Removes the boilerplate part of producing a Fire Strategy document
• Architects and Principal Designers can table a structured draft at an early design meeting
• Lets fire engineers focus on the bespoke design philosophy
• Gives Fire Strategy documents a consistent structure across a portfolio
• Reference code enables traceability between client, design team and consultancy

Example use

Example use: a practice architect downloads the healthcare template, populates the bespoke sections, and circulates a structured draft to the design team for the fire engineer to develop and approve.

The problem we solve

When a Building Safety Manager needs to understand how a mandatory occurrence reporting duty applies, or how an RRO article interacts with Approved Document B, the answer sits across multiple documents and guidance notes. General-purpose chatbots frequently cite the wrong jurisdiction, or cite nothing that can be checked.

How it works

You pick one instrument from an allowlist, then ask a question about it. The module does not write prose of its own: it selects which of the propositions already recorded for that instrument answer the question, and the server attaches each citation — exact locator, official source page and the date that page was read. It is not streamed token by token, it holds no licensed British Standard text, and a question it cannot answer from the recorded propositions is refused rather than filled in.

What you receive

The recorded propositions that answer your question for the instrument you chose, each with a server-issued citation you can open and check. Nothing is determined about any building.

Top benefits

• Every statement shown is one recorded earlier from the named instrument, not free text
• Each citation carries the exact locator, the official source page and the read date
• Scoped to one instrument at a time, so answers cannot drift across jurisdictions
• A question outside the recorded propositions is refused instead of answered loosely
• Informational only — this is not legal advice and is not a determination about any building

Example use

Example use: a Building Safety Manager preparing safety case material asks what one named instrument records about compartmentation evidence, then opens the cited source page and reads it directly before drafting.

The problem we solve

Under section 85 of the Building Safety Act 2022, the Principal Accountable Person for an occupied higher-risk building must prepare a safety case report containing the risk assessments carried out under section 83 and a brief description of the steps taken under section 84. There is no single prescribed template or format; regulation 5 of S.I. 2023/907 states the information such a report must contain and GOV.UK guidance describes the information to include, so duty-holders struggle to see what evidence they actually hold.

How it works

A closed schedule of items is derived from the public statutory text and official guidance, each item carrying an exact locator, an official legislation.gov.uk or gov.uk link and the date that page was read. You record your own position for each item — held and current, held but needing review, partial, not held, not known, or not applicable for a reason you state. Everything runs on your own device: no generative model, no server, no account, no personal data and nothing sent to us. The schedule is offered only where you declare a building in England that is occupied; anything else returns an informational referral only.

What you receive

A Safety Case Evidence Schedule (on screen and as a local PDF working aid): the section skeleton, your declared status for every item, a literal list of what you stated is not held, partial, needing review or not known, your not-applicable declarations with your reasons, and a source schedule with locators and official URLs. No score, band, percentage, hazard, likelihood, consequence, residual risk, control measure, action, priority or higher-risk determination is produced anywhere. It is not a completed safety case report.

Top benefits

• Shows literally which safety case items you declare you hold and which you do not
• Every item is bound to an exact statutory or guidance locator with an official link and read date
• Runs entirely on your device: no personal data is collected and nothing is uploaded
• Gives a competent fire engineer a clear starting point for real assessment work
• Decides nothing: no score, no rating, no readiness claim and no submission

Example use

Example use: a Principal Accountable Person records what evidence is actually held across several sessions, then appoints a competent fire engineer and legal adviser to carry out the section 83 assessments and prepare the safety case report itself.

The problem we solve

Section 91 of the BSA 2022 places duties on Accountable Persons to consult residents on building-safety decisions and to provide prescribed information. Many operators cannot see at a glance which of that information they already hold.

How it works

A closed schedule of required items is derived from section 91 of the Act and regulation 10 of S.I. 2023/907, each with an exact locator and an official source link. You record your own position for each item. It runs entirely in your browser: no personal data is collected and nothing is sent to a server.

What you receive

A schedule of your declared position against each required item, with the outstanding items listed literally and the sources named. It is a record of what you say you hold — not a resident engagement strategy, not a communication timetable, not a channel matrix, not a complaints procedure and not a score.

Top benefits

• Shows which required resident information you hold and which you do not
• Every item is bound to an exact statutory locator with an official link
• Runs in your browser: no personal data collected, nothing uploaded
• Gives a clear agenda before the strategy itself is written by a competent person
• Decides nothing: no score, no adequacy judgement, no compliance position

Example use

Example use: a housing provider records what it holds for each higher-risk building, then commissions the strategy itself with the gaps already identified.

The problem we solve

Section 87 of the BSA 2022 places duties on Accountable Persons to give notice to the Building Safety Regulator of a reportable safety occurrence in the prescribed circumstances, and requires the Principal Accountable Person of an occupied higher-risk building to establish and operate a mandatory occurrence reporting system. The separate mandatory occurrence reporting duties of principal designers and principal contractors during design and construction sit under the Building Regulations dutyholder regime and are not the same duties. The notification window is short and the information expected is specific.

How it works

The nine information items in regulation 6(2)(a) and (b) of S.I. 2023/907 are listed with exact locators and legislation.gov.uk links. You record what you hold for each one. It runs deterministically on your device, with no AI and nothing sent or stored.

What you receive

A schedule of what you declared, the required items still outstanding, and the two statutory time limits quoted from the source. It decides no reportability, no severity, no cause, no actions and no submission, and it is not a mandatory occurrence report.

Top benefits

• Shows immediately which required information is not yet held
• Each item carries its exact regulation locator and official link
• Runs on your device: nothing is sent to us or stored
• Quotes the statutory time limits from the source rather than paraphrasing them
• Reportability and submission remain decisions for the Accountable Person

Example use

Example use: a Building Safety Manager at an occupied higher-risk building records what is known about a compartmentation defect, sees which required items are missing, and the Accountable Person decides on reportability and submission.

The problem we solve

Insurers, investors and strategic decision-makers often want a geographic view of UK fire-safety activity, but the published data sits in separate sources and formats — and much of it is not published per authority at all.

How it works

A fail-closed evidence ledger over 44 canonical UK entities. An area only shows data where a named authority source is recorded for it; otherwise it is shown as not evidenced. At present no entity has authority-evidenced coverage, so the map displays the national statutory baseline and the coverage gap rather than indicators.

What you receive

The statutory baseline by jurisdiction plus a per-entity coverage state. No risk score, ranking, density figure, backlog, throughput or enforcement volume is displayed or computed, because none of it is evidenced.

Top benefits

• States openly which areas have authority-evidenced data and which do not
• Refuses to display an indicator it cannot source to a named authority
• Shows the national statutory baseline that does apply everywhere
• Makes the data gap itself visible for due-diligence planning
• No regional ranking or investment signal is produced

Example use

Example use: an investor checks whether regional fire-safety data exists for a target area, sees that authority-sourced coverage is absent, and commissions building-level due diligence instead.
