- Director-leaseholders who are not safety professionals
- Getting a complete golden thread from the previous manager
How CTS BuildSafe helps
- A clear compliance position from day one of taking over
- Golden thread and safety case held in the company's name
- Oversight of any managing agent you appoint
- A defensible record that the duty is being met

When leaseholders exercise the Right to Manage, the RTM company takes over the building from the freeholder - and usually the accountable person duty with it, often mid-stream and without a complete handover. Director-leaseholders inherit a legal responsibility they may not have expected.
BuildSafe gives an RTM company a clear compliance position from day one of taking over, a golden thread and safety case held in the company's name, oversight of any managing agent it appoints, and a defensible record that the duty is being met - even where information from the previous manager was incomplete.
