For RMC and RTM directors who are the accountable person for their own block.

Book a demo

RMC directors are usually the accountable person for their own block - often appointing a managing agent, but still holding the legal duty themselves.

The challenge

  • Directors are volunteers, not building-safety experts
  • Assuming the managing agent's involvement removes the duty (it does not)
  • Proving the building is compliant if challenged

How CTS BuildSafe helps

  • A clear view of where your building stands at any time
  • The right questions to put to your managing agent, evidenced
  • Golden thread and safety case held in your name
  • A defensible record that the duty is being met

Every building gets a live compliance score and RAG status, a maintained golden thread, Key Building Information structured for the BSR, the full statutory inspection regime, and warranties and O&M manuals tracked - so you always know where you stand.

Most RMC directors are leaseholders volunteering their time, not building-safety professionals - yet the RMC is very often the accountable person for the block, and appointing a managing agent does not transfer that legal duty. If the building's compliance were ever challenged, it is the company that has to answer.

BuildSafe gives directors a clear view of where the building stands without needing to be an expert, the right questions to put to the managing agent, and a golden thread and safety case held in the company's own name - a defensible record that the duty is being met.

Frequently asked questions

We use a managing agent - are we still the accountable person?

Almost always, yes. Appointing an agent does not transfer the accountable person duty; it stays with the RMC. BuildSafe helps you hold the agent to account and evidence the duty.

Do directors need building-safety expertise to use it?

No. It is built so volunteer directors can see the compliance position and ask the right questions, without needing to be specialists.
