Do you support notifiable projects?
Yes. We provide advisory for projects notifiable to the HSE and support dutyholders in meeting notification and documentation requirements.
Can you act as Principal Designer?
We provide advisory support to Principal Designers and Clients. Where appointment is required, scope can be defined in accordance with project requirements.
Is CDM Advisory required for all projects?
CDM duties apply to most construction projects. Advisory support is particularly beneficial where projects are complex, involve multiple contractors or present elevated risk.
Can you review an existing Safety Case?
Yes. We provide structured review and strengthening of existing Safety Case Reports, identifying gaps in evidence, governance clarity and risk articulation.
How long does Safety Case development take?
Timelines depend on building complexity, existing documentation maturity and governance readiness. Structured readiness reviews may take several weeks, while full Safety Case development for complex buildings may require phased delivery.
Does this replace Fire Risk Assessments?
No. Fire Risk Assessments form part of the evidence base informing the Safety Case. The Safety Case provides overarching governance assurance.
What does the Building Safety Regulator look for in a Safety Case?
The Building Safety Regulator will expect to see: Clear identification of principal building safety risks Evidence of proportionate control measures Demonstrable governance and oversight Evidence-backed narrative linking risk and control Mechanisms for continuous review and improvement
Who is responsible for the Safety Case?
The Accountable Person (or Principal Accountable Person) retains legal responsibility. Risk Warden provides advisory support, but statutory accountability remains with the dutyholder.
Is a Building Safety Case required for all buildings?
No. Safety Cases are primarily required for Higher-Risk Buildings under the Building Safety Act. However, similar structured assurance approaches may support governance in complex non-HRB buildings where appropriate.
Is this a one-off service or ongoing support?
Both options are available. We can provide: Fixed-scope regulatory readiness reviews Safety Case development support Retained advisory and governance oversight Annual review and refresh programmes Ongoing support is often appropriate where portfolios are complex or subject to anticipated regulator scrutiny.
Most providers offer either software or assessments. We deliver both — under one governed framework. This removes fragmentation, duplication and compliance blind spots.
Unlike traditional software vendors or isolated consultants, Risk Warden operates as a single, accountable compliance partner.
