The Building Safety Act can be challenging to keep up with, but with the right tools, property managers can stay one step ahead. Fixflo's digital tools help property agents keep on top of everything by making it easier to engage with leaseholders, residents, and contractors, plan and track recurring maintenance activities, and react to reported issues.
The benefits of using Fixflo's digital tools include:
- Streamlined compliance — efficient tracking of safety risks and remedial actions.
- Improved collaboration — seamless information sharing among stakeholders.
- Data-driven decision making — clear visualisation of building safety performance.
- Enhanced data accessibility — centralised storage and efficient organisation of building information.
- Increased operational efficiency — automation of routine tasks and workflows.
Here are the top 4 digital tools Fixflo has to offer that specifically assist with Building Safety Act compliance.
Building information management
All essential building data, including safety certifications, maintenance logs, and equipment manuals, need to be kept in a centralised platform. Fixflo can store this information and allows users to meticulously tag and organise it for easy retrieval and reference whenever needed.
This makes life easier for property managers as compiling and storing the information is much less time-consuming. Plus, going back to find any of this information will be much easier once the property manager has got into the habit of tagging all items as they enter the system.

Collaboration and information sharing
Authorised stakeholders, such as property managers, contractors or regulatory bodies, can be granted access to specific building information. This streamlines communication, facilitates collaboration, enhances transparency, and ensures that everyone involved has the necessary information to make informed decisions.
This process can be automated with Fixflo. Automation lets property managers reduce the time they spend on repetitive tasks like requesting multiple contractor quotes for the same job, instructing works, scheduling PPM, and collating action lists for clients for proof of service and task prioritisation. The real-time collaboration among stakeholders creates a shared platform for accessing and updating information.
Schedule and track remedial actions
Identified safety risks and required remedial actions can be scheduled and tracked within the system. This allows for proactive risk management, meaning that potential hazards can be addressed promptly and effectively.
Performance monitoring and reporting
Customisable dashboards are a valuable tool for maintaining and monitoring building safety. These dashboards can be created and tailored to display key building safety metrics and performance indicators relevant to a specific building or set of regulations.
By providing a real-time or near-real-time overview of these metrics, stakeholders can continuously monitor building safety, identify trends that may indicate emerging issues, and generate compliance reports that demonstrate adherence to relevant safety standards. This enables continuous monitoring of building safety, identifying trends, and generating compliance reports. This approach to building safety management can help prevent incidents, ensure compliance, and facilitate informed decision-making.
Final thoughts
By leveraging digital tools for building safety, organisations can improve data management, enhance collaboration, and streamline compliance. This will ultimately create safer and more efficient properties.
