The Building Safety Act changed everything.
Your inspection approach hasn't.
What we evidence and how we do it
BSA 2022 Compliance For Higher-Risk Buildings
Building Assessment Certificates, Golden Thread obligations, mandatory occurrence reporting and the Defective Premises Act exposure under BSA 2022 s.135’s 15-year limitation window.
If you manage buildings over 18 metres or 7+ storeys with two or more residential units, you already have statutory duties that demand continuous evidence - not periodic reports from different contractors with different methodologies and different grading scales.
Ovrsite delivers continuous building intelligence that keeps Accountable Persons ahead of the Building Safety Regulator.
What the Building Safety Act demands of you
Continuous Risk Assessment BSA s.83-84
The Act imposes a continuous duty on Accountable Persons to assess and manage building safety risks - specifically structural failure and fire spread. This is not a periodic obligation satisfied by annual surveys. It requires an ongoing, updatable evidence baseline demonstrating that you are actively aware of your building's condition and responding to changes. A 5-year BAC cycle without inter-assessment monitoring leaves you exposed to enforcement action and, in the most serious cases, criminal liability.
Building Assessment Certificates BSA s.80 & SI 2023/907 Reg 3
Every HRB requires a 5-yearly Building Assessment Certificate from the Building Safety Regulator. The assessor expects evidence of inter-assessment risk management: what the AP did between certificates, not just at the assessment moment. Most owners face a multi-year evidence gap on the external envelope. Ovrsite’s annual inspection programme builds five years of time-lapsed digital evidence the assessor can review at point of certification, materially reducing certification preparation time.
Golden Thread SI 2024/41, Reg 4 & Schedules 1–2
The Higher-Risk Buildings (Keeping and Provision of Information etc.) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/41) require building safety information to be electronic, accessible, transferable, secure, and version-controlled. Atlas holds the building condition and inspection portion of your Golden Thread to these standards. Every finding is linked to its source imagery, inspection date, reviewer decision, severity assessment, recommended action, and CAPEX estimate. Atlas is a contributor to your wider Golden Thread; design records, FRAs, and internal maintenance records sit elsewhere in your system.
Fire Safety: Fire Safety Act 2021 & 2022
The Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that external walls (including cladding, balconies, and windows on external walls) and structure are in scope of the fire risk assessment under RRFSO 2005. The Responsible Person needs externally-captured visual and thermal evidence to assess these elements properly: exactly the data traditional FRAs cannot obtain without scaffolding. Ovrsite provides the external wall evidence that feeds the FRA: cladding condition, moisture-compromised insulation, externally-visible fire-spread vectors, and balcony combustibles. We do not perform the FRA itself, and we are not a substitute for EWS or PAS 9980 work. We provide the visible-condition record those work streams need.
From inspection to intelligence to compliance
Capture
UAV visual and radiometric thermal sweep of every facade, roof, and envelope element. No scaffolding. No personnel at height. Where possible, sub-centimetre resolution
Detect
AI identifies membrane damage, drainage failure, cladding displacement, cracking, spalling. Every detection passes mandatory human review.
Map
Every finding mapped to relevant obligations under BSA Part 4, Fire Safety Act 2021, DPA 1972 (s.4) and RRFSO 2005. Mapping complements your compliance, not replaces it.
Act
Prioritised actions with CAPEX estimates. BAC Evidence Packs. Live compliance dashboards. Attention queues ranked by risk score. All through Atlas.
