The Problem

In early 2022, the London Borough of Camden faced the challenge of issuing Secure Building Safety Assurance Certificates for high-rise buildings, in line with upcoming building safety regulations. Recognising the complexity of this task, they were looking for a centralised data platform across their housing system databases to achieve not just one-off compliance, but to establish a ‘Golden Thread’. This meant a building safety case platform for ongoing housing needs fulfilment. 

The Solution

We collaborated with Camden Council to leverage extensive product and data expertise, leading to help the construction of a platform with benefits for an array of stakeholders: local residents, contractors, suppliers, emergency services, landlords, housing management organisations and regulatory bodies.

The Results

The new centralised set of housing data tools are ensuring transparency, enhanced efficiency and strict compliance. It is built to meet the diverse needs of everyone involved.
