PlanRadar selected for fire remediation compliance
PlanRadar has been appointed by Errigal Sustainable Solutions (ESS) as its long-term digital partner for fire remediation projects, with the platform set to support building safety and compliance across ESS’s portfolio.
PlanRadar announced that ESS selected the platform after a six-month evaluation process.
ESS, a specialist residential contractor working for housing associations, local authorities and private developers, chose the system to simplify compliance with the Building Safety Act, especially at Gateway 2 and 3 stages.
The platform will be implemented from the ground up and will bring fire-stopping records and quality checks into one central digital hub.
ESS said this will give it visibility across its project portfolio and maintain a consistent Golden Thread of data through the building lifecycle.
PlanRadar to support quality monitoring
A key part of the appointment is the use of PlanRadar to digitise site inspections and strengthen quality monitoring on fire remediation work.
Ray Toft, Managing Director at Errigal Sustainable Solutions, said: “We are a quality-led, relationship-driven business that views itself as a service provider first.
“Partnering with PlanRadar allows us to embed Tier 1-level digital systems from the start, rather than retrofitting legacy technology.
“PlanRadar is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution.
“Its adaptability means we can evolve the platform alongside our team.
“We were particularly impressed by its AI capabilities, having a system that learns from our data to validate compliance documentation could be a game-changer for fire remediation.”
ESS said the digitised inspection process is intended to reduce rework and help high-stakes fire safety tasks be completed correctly the first time.
PlanRadar partnership to cover project visibility
PlanRadar’s UK team said the partnership is intended to standardise quality monitoring and improve real-time visibility across projects.
Rob Norton, UK Director at PlanRadar, added: “We are pleased to partner with Errigal Sustainable Solutions.
“Their vision and experience demonstrate how technology can tackle the industry’s most pressing regulatory challenges.
“By using PlanRadar to standardise quality monitoring and gain real-time visibility across all projects, ESS is ideally positioned to minimise rework and drive operational efficiency.
“Together, we aim to not just meet compliance requirements but deliver superior transparency and service to their clients.”
The collaboration will also provide social landlords and developers with visibility over project progress and data to support building safety cases.
