Building Safety Enquiry Case Management
To Learn More About Building Safety Enquiry Case Management
What is Building Safety Enquiry Case Management?
A Building Safety Enquiry is any safety-related question, concern, mandatory occurrence or report from a resident, leaseholder or third party about a Higher-Risk Building (HRB) or any other building the landlord is responsible for. The Building Safety Act 2022, the Higher-Risk Buildings (Management of Safety Risks etc.) (England) Regulations 2023 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 reshaped what a social landlord is expected to do: maintain the Golden Thread of building information, operate a published Resident Engagement Strategy, respond within statutory timescales, log Mandatory Occurrence Reports (MORs) to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), and keep an evidenced safety case report on every HRB.
The operational challenge: a safety enquiry can move within minutes from a routine question into a Mandatory Occurrence Report or a building-evacuation decision. It needs Building Safety Manager involvement, fire-safety inspection records, cladding and compartmentation evidence, Section 156 duty-holder documentation and clear, prompt resident communication. Without one shared record linked to the building’s Golden Thread, the same question gets asked twice, the regulator’s deadlines slip, and the audit trail the BSR will demand stops being trustworthy.
Building Safety Enquiry — End-to-End Workflow
- Logged — building safety enquiry captured from any channel (phone, resident portal, Resident Engagement Strategy email, leaseholder letter, Mandatory Occurrence Report) into one Building Safety case in the Propsys360 Case Management module on Microsoft Dynamics 365.
- Triaged — assessed against the Building Safety Act 2022 threshold; routine question, formal building safety enquiry, or potential Mandatory Occurrence Report (MOR) decision recorded with reasoning.
- Linked to the building’s Golden Thread — the Higher-Risk Building (HRB) record, the safety case report, current fire-risk assessment and compartmentation records auto-attached so investigation starts with the full picture.
- Building Safety Manager (BSM) review — owner assigned; resident contacted within the published Resident Engagement Strategy timescale; technical advice from fire engineers or cladding experts attached.
- Action — works raised through the Repairs Management module, evacuation decision recorded with rationale, Mandatory Occurrence Report submitted to the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), or formal response issued — whichever the case demands.
- Resident communication — every update logged on the case, sent through the resident’s preferred channel, and held against the Resident Engagement Strategy commitments.
- Closed — outcome recorded against statutory categories; safety case report updated; learning fed into the next BSR-required review.
- BSR / regulator export — full case bundle exports in one click in the format the Building Safety Regulator and any inquest, inquiry or local authority partner expects.
Building Safety Enquiry Case Management in Propsys360
- One record, one version of the truth — every Building Safety Enquiry lives in a single record in the Propsys360 Case Management module on Microsoft Dynamics 365, replacing fire-safety inboxes, cladding spreadsheets and Building Safety Manager notebooks.
- Linked to the Higher-Risk Building (HRB) Golden Thread — current safety case report, fire-risk assessment, compartmentation evidence, Mandatory Occurrence Reports and resident engagement records all attached to the case automatically.
- Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) ready — threshold check built in; if the case meets the criteria the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) submission is drafted from the case data, not retyped.
- Resident Engagement Strategy compliance — Service Level Agreement (SLA) clocks aligned to the published response times the strategy commits to; no missed promises to residents.
- Section 156 duty-holder evidencing — every action attributable to the Accountable Person, Building Safety Manager and Principal Designer / Contractor, with reasoning attached for any decision.
- Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 alignment — quarterly fire-door checks, annual flat-entrance door checks and resident information packs all generated from the same case ledger.
- Leaseholder communication built in — Section 20 consultations, leaseholder safety letters and Building Safety Levy correspondence sit on the same case record, not in a separate inbox.
- Building Safety Regulator (BSR) audit pack — single-click export in the format the regulator, an inquest or a local authority partner expects, with no manual reassembly.
