Avoid Costly Compliance Failures Under the Building Safety Regime
Keeping a building safe, legal and compliant is an ongoing responsibility. It falls on anyone involved in its ownership, management or construction. From the design stage through to daily operation, there are multiple regulations to meet; missing something can be costly. Yuno makes it easier to stay on top of every requirement. That protects your property, your investment and the people who live or work there.
The risk of non-compliance
Compliance is an ongoing obligation that affects how your building is designed, built, documented and managed. Even when contractors or designers are involved, legal responsibility cannot simply be passed on. If something goes wrong, the dutyholder is still accountable.
- Unlimited fines and formal enforcement action
- Stop notices that halt works or prevent occupation
- Delays to sales, refinancing or tenant move-ins
- Personal liability under the Building Safety regime
- Reputational damage with lenders, councils and managing agents
Building compliance isn't a one off check. It's ongoing legal exposure.
You can't outsource legal responsibility
Under the Building Safety Act and updated Building Regulations, certain people involved in building work are legally classed as dutyholders. These roles carry specific responsibilities and potential penalties for non-compliance.
Important
These duties are enforceable by law. Failure to comply can result in enforcement action, unlimited fines or prosecution. Even when work is delegated to designers or contractors, legal responsibility often still sits with the property or project owner.
Who holds responsibility?
Property/Project Owner
Known as the 'Client' in building regulations. Commissions the work, and appoints competent designers and contractors. Makes sure the project is planned, managed and monitored to comply with regulations.
Designer
Prepares plans or instructions that meet building regulations, and avoids foreseeable risks where possible. Provides enough detail for compliant construction.
Principal Contractor
Carries out or manages the work in line with regulations, uses competent workers, and follows approved designs.
Principal Designer
Coordinates compliance during the design phase; identifies and manages design risks. Ensures information is shared between all parties before work starts.

Step 4

Step 5
Monitor
Keep relevant compliance evidence, future requirements and ongoing responsibilities visible.

PROOF, NOT JUST PROGRESS
Requirement → action → evidence
Requirement
What the property or building actually needs, identified up front.
Action
The inspection, certificate, report or works carried out to meet it.
Evidence
Certificates, reports, inspection records and audit trails, kept ready for councils, insurers or internal review.
And this isn't static. Regulations change, responsibilities shift, and enforcement expectations increase year after year.
