Solutions for Accountable Persons
Clear control of the areas you are responsible for
Structured evidence, defined responsibilities, and direct contribution to the Golden Thread.
Supporting Your Role as an Accountable Person
As an Accountable Person, you are responsible for managing fire and structural safety in the parts of the building you control. This includes holding and maintaining accurate information, keeping records up to date, and demonstrating that risks are being managed effectively.
In practice, many Accountable Persons inherit incomplete information, inconsistent file structures, legacy systems, or unclear handovers from developers, contractors, or managing agents. It is not always clear what evidence is required, where it should sit, or how it should be kept current.
NBR supports Accountable Persons by providing a clear, structured framework to gather, hold, and maintain the information required under the Building Safety Act, and to feed that information into the Golden Thread.
