For developers and construction firms, compliance is no longer something that can be addressed after handover. The Building Safety Act has shifted the spotlight to the earliest stages of design and construction, requiring clear evidence of competence, accountability, and the golden thread of information throughout the project lifecycle.
Ark Workplace Risk partners with developers, contractors, and investors to embed safety and compliance into projects from day one. From planning and design through to occupation, we help you deliver buildings that meet regulatory requirements, earn resident trust, and protect long-term asset value.
We understand the challenges developers face:
- Meeting Building Safety Act Gateway requirements and producing Safety Case documentation.
- Ensuring competence across the supply chain, including designers, contractors, and subcontractors.
- Embedding the golden thread of information from construction into occupation.
- Managing evolving legislation, fire safety standards, and structural safety requirements.
- Balancing compliance obligations with budget, programme, and delivery pressures.
- Protecting reputation and securing investor confidence in a high-scrutiny environment.
How Ark helps developers and builders:
Whether you’re a Project Director, Compliance Lead, Design & Build Contractor, or Investor, Ark ensures safety and compliance are embedded in your developments from blueprint to handover.
We deliver:
- Gateway 1 (Planning stage) – advising on fire and structural safety strategies, resident engagement, and early golden thread planning.
- Gateway 2 (Pre-construction) – preparing Safety Case documentation, competence frameworks, and ensuring supply chain readiness.
