Since April 2024, when the BSR began requesting Building Assessment Certificates (BACs), we’ve witnessed a fundamental shift in how high-rise residential buildings are managed and regulated.
As of yesterday (26th February 2025), BB-SCR, our AI-powered safety case reporting tool, achieved full compliance with the Building Safety Regulators (BSR) assessment criteria for Building Assessment Certificate (BAC) applications.
By implementing these best practices, high-rise buildings can significantly strengthen their safety management processes, creating a safer and more secure environment for all residents.

Quality management is the cornerstone for any successful organisation, and it holds even greater significance in critical sectors like building safety, where lives and property depend on reliable solutions.
In today’s interconnected world, data security has become a critical priority, especially in industries handling sensitive information like building safety.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the built environment, offering innovative solutions to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability. However, the adoption of AI also introduces ethical considerations that must be addressed to ensure responsible development and deployment.
A building safety case is a compilation of necessary building information; it is used to manage the risk of the spread of fire or structural failure in high-rise buildings. It’s mandatory for buildings with at least 7 stories or exceeding 18 meters. The Building Safety Act 2022 required Accountable Persons of a building to collect, store, and maintain all the building information, also known as the golden thread of information.
A Safety Case Report (SCR) is a critical document required for high-rise residential buildings under the Building Safety Act 2022. It provides a comprehensive overview of a building’s safety measures, identifying potential fire and structural risks while detailing strategies to manage and mitigate them.
