How Does It Work?

CertOn PRO for Housing Associations, Multi- Property Estate, Compliance, Asset & Facility Management, Landlords & Building Safety Managers

Being able to demonstrate compliance and offer full transparency of data on a building project is hugely important, especially with regards to asset management. CertOn PRO stores all important property related documents in one easy-to-access portal and gives all users, including Tenants, Instant Access to these documents all managed by your Admin.

Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy on 14th June 2017, the Government appointed Dame Judith Hackitt to undertake a full review of Building Safety Regs and Fire Safety in multiple occupancy buildings. The purpose was to make recommendations that will ensure – A sufficiently robust regulatory system for the future & residents feel that the buildings they live in are safe and remain so.

It examined building and fire safety regulations and related compliance and enforcement with the focus on multi-occupancy high-rise residential buildings. The final report was published on 17 May 2018.

The report can be read here:

The introduction of the Building Safety Act 2022 (section 156) and Fire Safety responsibilities for responsible persons, has bought in new legalisation for building safety and their residents.

CertOn provides a ‘Single Source of Truth’ (SSoT) which denotes a centralized, accessible repository where all building information is housed, managed, and kept up-to-date. This concept ensures that every stakeholder in the building’s lifecycle—ranging from architects and contractors to owners and facility managers—relies on identical, current data.
