Early specialist input reduces risk, cost, and delay.
Engage before Gateway submission to ensure clarity, compliance, and programme certainty.
BSR FAST provides specialist façade access and maintenance consultancy supporting main contractor technical teams on complex and high-risk buildings.
We help technical teams identify, assess, and define appropriate access strategies early, ensuring solutions are technically robust, compliant with regulatory requirements, and aligned with the overall design intent.
Glass replacement, façade access, and routine window cleaning each impose different technical and loading requirements.
BSR FAST supports technical teams by applying specialist façade access expertise to ensure access strategies are appropriate, proportionate, and buildable, avoiding unnecessary over-specification and late-stage design changes.
Supporting safe and compliant access for:
Early identification of access requirements to support coordinated design development.
Window cleaning, glass replacement, and specialist façade maintenance considerations.
Review of imposed loads, interfaces, and structural implications.
Assessment of coping details, edge protection, and roof safety measures.
Coordination of access systems with façade, structural, and architectural elements.
We review proposed façade access and maintenance requirements, identifying primary maintenance functions and potential technical constraints at an early stage.
Our specialists assess loadings, interfaces, and structural implications, including coping strengthening, davit arm provisions, abseil systems, and trolley arrangements. This ensures access strategies are efficient, compliant, and technically appropriate.
We provide clear, structured technical advice that supports coordination with other trades, reduces redesign risk, and enables safe, buildable façade access solutions aligned with the overall design intent.
