Our Purpose

The UK's most trusted property records service

Buildings generate safety-critical information throughout their lifetime. That information is created by many people, across multiple systems, at different stages of design, construction, occupation, and change.

When records are duplicated, fragmented, or inconsistently managed, risk increases and responsibility becomes blurred. Confidence in the information is lost.

NBR exists to bring clarity, structure, and long-term stewardship to property records.
 

Why clear building safety records matter

Every building relies on accurate, up-to-date information to support safe decisions. As projects evolve, teams change, contracts end, and responsibilities transfer.

Too often, multiple versions of the same document exist across folders, platforms, and inboxes. Different parties rely on different copies. No one is certain which version is correct.

Retrieving the right information at the right moment becomes time-consuming and stressful, particularly when scrutiny is high.

Since the Grenfell tragedy, expectations around building safety information have increased and will continue to do so. Accountability is clearer. Scrutiny is higher. Confidence in information is essential.

What NBR does differently

NBR provides a single, authoritative building record, with permission-based access for everyone who needs to contribute to or rely on it.
There is one source file, not multiple copies.

• No parallel systems.

• No conflicting versions.

Information is added, updated, and accessed within a controlled structure, so everyone is working from the same, current record.

We work alongside your existing systems rather than replacing them. Design tools, contractor platforms, and maintenance systems still do their job. NBR’s role is to hold the definitive, auditable record that endures beyond projects, contracts, and organisational change.

Long-term stewardship, not short-term storage

Our responsibility is not just to store documents, but to ensure the building record remains:

 

• Clear

• Complete

• Accessible

• Defensible

Our team supports assessment, setup, and ongoing stewardship, maintaining structure and integrity over time.
There is always one trusted record, anchored to the building, with access granted by role rather than duplicated by necessity.

 

Our commitment

 

We help you establish a complete and robust building record.
We help you keep it that way for as long as the building exists.

Because trust in building safety does not start with systems.
It starts with trust in the information.
