Building safety services

This initial stage is undertaken prior to planning permission being granted. The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) will assess full plans, the fire statement and other documents to accept or reject the clients application, determining whether they can proceed to the next stage or not.

At United Living, we prepare any required planning application submissions with all key fire considerations made to support the required fire statement for submission.

The second stage will see a rigorous inspection of the design and construction process, ensuring that building safety is considered and regulations are adhered to, at each stage of the process.

We’ll secure building control approval through the BSR and provide information covering duty holder competence, golden thread building data and strategies to minimise risk during construction.

The final, and most important stage of the process, is the issuing of the Building Registration Certificate (BRC). The BSR assesses final submissions, undertakes necessary inspections, and issues a completion certificate. This allows the safety of future occupants to remain the highest priority, as construction comes to an end.

The planning for this stage starts at the beginning of the building control process, to ensure that a programme is in place to allow the collection of all necessary information, right from the start. This is the golden thread of building information, ensuring that accurate, up to date information is readily available to the building owner.

At United Living, we support our clients by ensuring that the application will be processed as swiftly as possible, so as not to cause undue delay.
