Building Safety Case Reports bring together the critical information needed to show that fire and structural risks in a building are understood, controlled, and being actively managed. Our reports help Accountable Persons and dutyholders under the new building safety regime demonstrate that their buildings are safe for residents, regulators, and stakeholders.
Building Safety Case Reports are a key requirement under the new building safety regime for Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs). A robust report is essential for:
Providing clear evidence that fire and structural risks are identified, assessed, and controlled.
Meeting the expectations of the Building Safety Regulator and supporting safety case and registration requirements.
Bringing together design, construction, inspection, and maintenance information into a single, structured narrative.
Demonstrating that the Principal Accountable Person understands their risks, has proportionate controls in place, and is reviewing them regularly.
Define the building(s) in scope, stakeholders, and available information, including existing surveys, strategies, and maintenance records.
Review fire and structural hazards, existing control measures, and any gaps using a structured, risk-based approach.
Document how risks are managed in practice, including inspection regimes, maintenance, resident engagement, and emergency arrangements.
Develop a clear, logical report that explains how risks are controlled, supported by appendices, drawings, and technical evidence.
Provide guidance on ongoing review cycles, updates following change, and integration with your wider Building Safety and Fire Risk Management strategy.
Our reports provide a clear, defensible basis for demonstrating building safety and compliance.

Professional insights from our building and fire safety specialists.
A Building Safety Case Report is a structured document that sets out how building safety risks—primarily fire and structural risks—are identified, controlled, and kept under review. It brings together policies, procedures, surveys, technical reports, and operational controls into a single narrative that demonstrates the building is being managed safely.
Safety Case Reports are primarily required for Higher-Risk Buildings, typically those over a defined height and with residential occupation. However, many dutyholders choose to adopt the safety case approach for other complex or high-risk buildings to improve governance, assurance, and transparency.
The Principal Accountable Person (PAP) or Accountable Person is responsible for ensuring a Building Safety Case and Safety Case Report are in place. They may appoint competent specialists—such as Assured—to help compile the evidence, analyse risks, and prepare the report, but legal responsibility remains with the dutyholder.
A robust report typically includes: building description and use; roles and responsibilities; fire and structural risk assessments; design and strategy information; inspection and maintenance regimes; resident engagement; emergency plans; previous incidents or enforcement; and an overall safety justification explaining why the building is considered safe to occupy.
The report should be reviewed regularly and whenever there is a significant change to the building, its systems, its occupancy, or its management arrangements. Periodic review cycles (for example, annually or in line with FRA review dates) help ensure that the safety case remains current, evidence is refreshed, and improvement actions are tracked.
A well-prepared report supports compliance with building safety legislation, strengthens the “golden thread” of information, and provides a consistent reference point for Fire Risk Assessments, asset management, major works planning, and resident communications. It also gives boards, insurers, and regulators clearer assurance that risks are understood and being managed.
Give your organisation clear, defensible assurance that building safety risks are under control.
