Advisory Support to Help Clients Meet Legal Duties

The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced new, enforceable responsibilities for Clients. From the moment a project is initiated, Clients must plan, manage, and monitor the work to ensure it complies with all relevant regulations - across design, construction, and handover.

enevo’s Building Safety Act Client Advisory Services provide structured, expert support to help Clients understand, organise, and fulfil their legal duties. Whether acting on new builds, refurbishments, or Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs), we work with you to reduce risk and embed compliance throughout the project lifecycle.

How our Client Advisory Service Works

01

Dutyholder Briefing & Client Role Mapping

We meet with you to identify whether the project falls under HRB criteria, clarify your legal duties, and provide frameworks for understanding your responsibilities under the Act.

02

Competency and Appointment Oversight

We help you appoint competent Principal Designers and Contractors, ensuring the appropriate declarations, competency records, and appointment documentation are in place from the outset.

03

Compliance System Setup

We support the adoption of Common Data Environments (CDEs), define change control protocols, and establish document management systems aligned with regulatory expectations.

04

Gateway Submission Preparation

We coordinate documentation reviews, support the collation of declarations, and ensure evidence meets the BSR’s standards for Gateway approval.

05

Regulation 38 Handover Support

We help assemble and review the Fire and Emergency File and other handover materials, ensuring the Responsible Person receives complete, accurate, and auditable documentation.

Why Client Advisory Matters

Clients are the initiating force behind a project, and that position now carries direct legal responsibility. Without clear oversight, even the best-appointed teams can drift off course. The Building Safety Regulator expects Clients to be informed, active participants in safety management, not passive funders.

Our advisory services make these duties manageable. We act as your support system, giving you the tools, insight, and technical input to confidently fulfil your role, avoid regulatory missteps, and ensure a smooth journey from project brief through to occupation.
