A Building Passport is a securely stored, online & up-to-date record of information on a building throughout its lifecycle.
It can be used to speed up the process of selling your property, help inform local fire and rescue services on fire prevention measures and help you to identify information you might need to store to adhere to imminent legislative safety requirements.
WHAT IS A BUILDING PASSPORT?
We think every building should have its plans available to emergency services.
