PlanRadar has been appointed by Errigal Sustainable Solutions (ESS) as its long-term digital partner to support building safety and compliance across fire remediation projects.
Supporting Building Safety Act requirements
The partnership follows a six-month evaluation process, with ESS selecting PlanRadar to streamline compliance with the Building Safety Act, particularly at Gateway 2 and 3 stages.
As a specialist residential contractor working with housing associations, local authorities and private developers, ESS will implement the platform from the ground up.
The system will consolidate multiple specialist tools, including fire stopping records and quality checks, into a single centralised digital hub.
This approach is designed to provide full visibility across ESS’s project portfolio while maintaining a consistent “Golden Thread” of data throughout the building lifecycle.
Improving quality monitoring and reducing rework
A key driver behind the decision was PlanRadar’s ability to improve quality monitoring. By digitising site inspections, ESS aims to reduce rework and ensure critical fire safety tasks are completed correctly first time, supporting both resident safety and cost control.
Ray Toft, Managing Director at ESS, 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.”
Driving operational efficiency
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.”
