The Challenge

Most building owners aren't ready for what the BSA requires

The Building Safety Act creates ongoing, legally enforceable duties that the majority of Accountable Persons are currently not equipped to meet.

No structured inspection regimeAnnual and periodic facade inspections are a BSA requirement — most buildings have none in place.
No golden threadRecords exist in email chains, PDFs and spreadsheets — not in an auditable, structured format the BSR expects.
Conflicting technical adviceContractors and consultants with competing interests give inconsistent, often over-scoped recommendations.
No portfolio-level viewInvestors and managing agents with multiple buildings have no coherent picture of their combined compliance exposure.
CTS solves all of thisFrom initial gap assessment to ongoing compliance management — advisory, inspections, remediation and technology in one place.

The CTS Difference

We act entirely on your behalf — no contractor relationships, no product affiliations, no conflicts of interest. Our only objective is to get you compliant, keep you that way, and make sure you can prove it.

International facade expertise. Our technical team brings delivery experience on major facade programmes including sovereign wealth fund-backed developments in the Gulf.
Regulatory depth. We understand what the BSR actually expects — not just what the Act says, but how it is being applied in practice.
Technology-backed. Our compliance platform gives you and your team a live, auditable view of every building in your portfolio.
Proportionate advice. We never over-specify. Recommendations are calibrated to genuine risk — commercially realistic and defensible.

How We Work

A clear path from where you are to where you need to be

CTS works with clients through four structured stages — each with defined outputs, clear deliverables and an ongoing role that keeps you compliant long after the initial work is done.

1

Assess

Independent appraisal of your building or portfolio. We identify where you are against BSA requirements and produce a clear gap analysis and risk prioritisation.

2

Strategise

A proportionate, defensible remediation and compliance strategy. Scoped to what is genuinely necessary — no over-specification, no ambiguity.

3

Deliver

Client-side management of inspections, investigations and remediation works. We own the programme on your behalf and ensure quality at every stage.

4

Sustain

Ongoing compliance management through retainer partnerships and the CTS platform. Structured records, proactive monitoring, and regulatory confidence — continuously.

Who We Are

Founded by specialists. Built for the complexity of the BSA.

CTS is a founder-led business. Between us we bring developer-side construction management and preconstruction leadership, direct BSR advisory experience, and deep international expertise in facade systems and supply chain — a combination the compliance advisory market currently lacks.

James Tweedie
Co-Founder
James brings a rare combination of commercial manufacturing experience and high-level international advisory to CTS. He founded and ran his own glazing and facade manufacturing businesses, giving him hands-on technical knowledge of how facade systems are designed, produced and installed — from the inside out. He subsequently moved into consultancy, advising some of the largest organisations in the Middle East on facade systems and specification, with direct engagement on major programmes backed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) in Saudi Arabia. That combination of manufacturing heritage, deep technical expertise and an extensive international supply chain network means James can assess facade systems, advise on appropriate solutions and navigate the specialist supply chain with an authority that few advisers in the UK market can match.

Phil Baily
Co-Founder
Phil has spent his career on the developer and client side of high-end residential development. At Berkeley Group — working across St James and St William — he gained experience on some of London's most complex and prestigious residential schemes before joining London Square as Head of Preconstruction, a role he held for seven years. During that time he led preconstruction across a broad portfolio of high-density residential development — the exact typology now most heavily scrutinised under the Building Safety Act. Most recently, as Preconstruction Director at K2 Construction Management, Phil moved into advisory, working directly with clients on their BSR requirements and Higher-Risk Building obligations. He has spoken publicly on building safety and client requirements, including a presentation at last year's UK REIF, and brings a direct understanding of the practical challenges building owners face in meeting their Accountable Person duties.

Complete Independence — Always
CTS operates entirely client-side. We have no commercial relationships with contractors, cladding manufacturers, or specialist suppliers. Every recommendation we make is driven solely by what is technically appropriate, proportionate, and in our client's interest. This independence is fundamental to what CTS is — it is not a position statement, it is how we are structured.
Why CTS

What sets us apart

🎯 Specialist, not generalist

We do one thing: building safety compliance, with a particular focus on facades and the Building Safety Act. We are not a broad-based surveying practice that has added a BSA line to its brochure.

⚖️ Proportionate always

We take professional pride in identifying what is necessary and equally what is not. Our advice is calibrated to genuine risk — we will never recommend unnecessary scope to generate fees.

🔗 Strategy through to delivery

Many advisers stop at the report. CTS stays with you through procurement, delivery and into ongoing compliance management. Continuity of oversight is how good outcomes are achieved.

🌐 International technical depth

Our facade expertise is grounded in delivering some of the most complex envelope programmes in the world. That depth of technical experience directly benefits UK clients navigating post-Grenfell requirements.

💻 Technology-backed

The CTS compliance platform means your golden thread, inspection records and compliance position are always current, structured and ready for BSR scrutiny — not buried in a folder somewhere.

📞 Accessible and responsive

As a founder-led business, clients deal directly with senior expertise. No account managers, no juniors being supervised remotely. The people you speak to are the people doing the work.

Not sure where your buildings stand?
Start with a compliance audit.

A CTS initial compliance audit gives you a clear, independent picture of your obligations, your current position and what needs to happen next. Most clients tell us it's the clearest advice they've received on this topic.
