Soldi CDM and Fire provides practical Building Safety Act advisory support for duty holders, accountable persons and principal designers navigating the requirements introduced by the 2022 Act.
We help clients understand their legal obligations, structure their approach to compliance and produce the documentation needed to demonstrate that fire and structural safety is being actively managed throughout the building lifecycle.
​
Our support covers duty holder advisory, golden thread guidance, principal designer support and safety case input for higher-risk buildings. Where required, this is integrated with compartmentation survey findings, fire strategy review and existing building documentation to build a complete picture of compliance.
​
The Act places responsibility firmly on building owners and managers. We provide the technical expertise and clear deliverables to meet that responsibility in practice, not just on paper.
Building Safety Act Compliance
​
The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced the most significant reform to building safety regulation in a generation. For building owners, accountable persons and principal designers, it created new legal duties that require active, documented management of fire and structural safety throughout a building's lifecycle.
​
Soldi CDM and Fire provides practical advisory support to help duty holders understand their obligations, structure their approach and produce the documentation required to demonstrate compliance.
​
Who it affects
​
The Act places specific duties on accountable persons, principal accountable persons, principal designers and clients involved in the design, construction and management of higher-risk buildings. Higher-risk buildings are currently defined as residential buildings of 18 metres or more, or seven or more storeys, containing at least two dwellings. The regulatory framework is evolving and the duties it creates are not limited to new buildings.
​
What we do
​
Duty Holder Advisory
Practical guidance for accountable persons and clients on their legal obligations under the Act, what they need to have in place and how to structure their approach to ongoing compliance.
​
Golden Thread Support
Advisory support on establishing and maintaining the golden thread of building information, ensuring safety-critical information is recorded, kept current and accessible throughout the building lifecycle.
​
Principal Designer Support
Support to principal designers on fire safety aspects of their role under the Act, including design review, safety case input and interface with the Building Safety Regulator.
​
Safety Case and Safety Case Report
Support in developing the building safety case and safety case report required for higher-risk buildings, drawing on compartmentation survey findings, fire strategy review and existing documentation.
​
Interface with Regulatory Reform
The Building Safety Act sits alongside the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and changes to Approved Document B. We provide joined-up advice that considers the full regulatory picture rather than treating each instrument in isolation.
​
Why it matters
​
The Act shifts responsibility firmly onto building owners and managers. Ignorance of obligations is not a defence. For those managing existing stock, the priority is understanding what the building contains, how it performs against its intended fire strategy, and what remedial action is required to close the gap.
​
That is exactly the work we do.
