Early specialist input reduces risk, cost, and delay.
Engage before Gateway submission to ensure clarity, compliance, and programme certainty.
BSR FAST provides independent façade access and maintenance consultancy supporting duty-holders, principal designers, and project teams in meeting their CDM 2015 duties and BS 8670 competence requirements.
We help ensure access and maintenance strategies are clearly defined, proportionate, and demonstrably compliant, reducing regulatory risk and supporting smooth progression through Gateway approval.
Competence in façade access and maintenance is a statutory requirement, not a preference.
BS 8670 sets out clear competence requirements for façade access and maintenance specialists. However, many advisory services do not fully meet these criteria.
BSR FAST provides demonstrable specialist competence, supporting duty-holders in discharging their duty of care through structured, regulation-aligned advice that is appropriate to the project risk profile.
