Building Safety Case Reports

A Building Safety Case Report is a document that demonstrates how fire and structural safety risks in a higher-risk building are being identified, assessed, and managed. Required under the Building Safety Act 2022, the safety case report supports the Principal Accountable Person's application for a Building Assessment Certificate from the Building Safety Regulator.

Apex Fire Engineering prepares safety case reports that present the fire safety case clearly, comprehensively, and in a format that withstands regulatory scrutiny. We draw on our fire risk assessment findings, fire strategy documentation, and specialist surveys to build a coherent safety argument. Our reports are structured around the key building safety requirements and demonstrate how risks are identified, assessed, managed, and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
