An estate that had outgrown
its own drawings.

Three sites, six buildings, twenty years of acquired compartmentation. One compliance posture handed to the regulator.

NHS teaching-hospital estate · London 11 months · 0 remedials at first BSA inspection

The brief

The estate had grown by acquisition over two decades. Three sites, six buildings, fire-compartmentation drawings that disagreed with one another, and a regulator that had moved the goalposts. The Trust's Director of Estates had a Building Safety Act inspection on the diary, and a compliance picture that no single supplier had ever owned end-to-end.

They didn't want surveyors, remediation contractors and an asset-register vendor in three separate conversations. They wanted one party to take the brief — and hand back evidence the regulator could accept on first look.

The approach — three phases, one workflow

01 · Intrusive survey

14 weeks across all wards, plant rooms and riser shafts. Every penetration, every compartment line, every door — mapped, photographed, scored. Surveys uploaded live into Uptick as the team walked the estate, so the asset register grew in real time rather than at the back-end of the contract.

02 · Sequenced remediation

Programmed by risk register, not by ward operations. Critical-care compartments first; night shifts where the estate needed beds open. Procore tracked the as-built changes against the survey baseline, so the remediation record was the audit record.

03 · Golden-thread digitisation

Every asset on Uptick. Every survey cross-referenced. Procore for the as-built drawing pack. M365 SharePoint for the controlled-document layer. Handed over as a single compliance pack — searchable, auditable, defensible.

"They didn't just remediate the building. They handed us a compliance posture we can defend to the regulator and to our insurers — for years, not months."

The outcome

The Trust handed its compliance pack to the Building Safety Regulator pre-emptively, ahead of the first BSA inspection of the estate. The inspector accepted the pack as evidenced — and the estate passed without remedials. The compliance picture that previously lived across three suppliers, two spreadsheets and a folder of legacy drawings now lives in one searchable workflow the estates team can interrogate from a phone.
