Significant, Sizeable Building Safety Reform
We are facing the largest reform of fire safety regulations for a generation and while the new Building Safety Regime and implementation of recommendations in Dame Judith Hackitt’s report are welcomed, freeholders, resident management committees, managing agents and their clients need to be suitably skilled and agile to adapt their processes and service offerings.
Centrick have been engaged with industry leading professionals for a number of years and have navigated the variety of routes to property compliance for a number of high profile schemes and clients. Centrick have successful projects on site with many more moving through Building Safety Funds, Cladding Safety Scheme and Pledged Developers.
Case Study
Centrick worked with BSF to amend the process for variations and payment tranches via ARMA.
Centrick have worked closely with West Midlands Fire Service to ensure the safety of residents and implemented processes for fire safety evacuation including flow charts that can be used in other buildings.
The cladding contractors are on track to have all combustible materials removed by June 2022 which we hope will result in a reduced insurance premium for all Leaseholders.

Designed to make building safety, fire safety and cladding remediation guidance as understandable and accessible as possible.
Guide to the Building Safety Regime
Since the Grenfell tragedy, building safety has rightfully become a top priority, resulting in significant legislative changes. The introduction of the Building Safety Act in 2022 provided enhanced guidelines for those responsible for ensuring the safety of residential buildings, with the goal of preventing disasters like Grenfell from occurring in the future.
In the wake of this legislation, a number of secondary regulations have been implemented, requiring the industry to make substantial adjustments to comply and, more importantly, to safeguard residents. Ongoing guidance continues to be issued, and a major remediation program is underway to replace unsafe cladding on buildings.
This is why our Building Safety and Compliance team has developed a comprehensive guide to the Building Safety Regime, designed to keep property professionals informed and up-to-date on these crucial changes.

Guide to Fire Safety and Cladding Remediation
Since 2027, a number of significant changes have been implemented when it comes to fire safety regulations and cladding remediation practices. It is vital for Residential Management Companies (RMCs) and accountable persons to remain as informed as possible about their responsibilities to ensure their buildings meet compliance standards and keep residents safe now and in the future.
With this in mind, Centrick’s dedicated Building Safety team has leveraged their expertise in the ever-evolving areas of fire safety and cladding remediation to create a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing these changes. Inside, you’ll find crucial insights into the latest property safety reforms and what they mean for you.
