Creating better places and delivering exceptional frontline services for citizens starts with having buildings that are safe, well-maintained, and fit-for-purpose.
These require care, but with ageing infrastructure, budgetary constraints, and maintenance backlogs a common reality, many public and private sector buildings are no longer safe for those who use them.
The situation is further complicated by evolving safety regulations, such as Martyn’s Law, inefficiencies in network infrastructure, and the ongoing challenge of recruiting and retaining skilled building professionals.
At Capita, we are committed to keeping your buildings safe, compliant, and ready to meet the needs of all stakeholders, from owners and landlords to occupants and visitors. Whether dealing with statutory regulations, advanced security solutions, or any other building safety challenge, we provide expert guidance to ensure the wellbeing of everyone.
We follow a comprehensive, end-to-end process that spans the entire lifecycle of buildings.
1. Safe construction
We ensure all construction projects meet established safety standards and regulations, safeguarding the health and safety of workers and future occupants.
2. Safe occupation
We ensure buildings are secure and suitable for people to live or work in, protecting the health and wellbeing of all occupants.
3. Safe disposal
We support the process of demolishing and removing a structure responsibly, in a way that minimises risks to human health and the environment.
