Building Standards

Building Standards

Achieving safe, compliant, and high-performing buildings requires expert management of evolving Building Standards and regulations. With the introduction of the Building Safety Act and oversight from the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), the expectations for public and commercial building regulations compliance have never been higher.

We bring clarity, confidence, and proven expertise to every project, ensuring complete regulatory alignment while supporting long-term safety, sustainability, and operational performance.

Explore our Building Standards and Management below.

Shaping Safer Buildings Through Standards and Strategy

Our expertise spans the full lifecycle of building envelope management, from PCSA management and technical surveying through to compliance strategy and building performance.

We apply a rigorous, regulation-led proactive approach to ensure alignment with the Building Safety Act, fire safety frameworks, net zero targets, and wider building control standards. From residential hi-rise and commercial offices to hospitals and education estates, we help clients navigate complexity and achieve safe, sustainable, and compliant buildings.
