PlanRadar, the leading digital platform for construction documentation and task management, has been appointed by Errigal Sustainable Solutions (ESS) as its long-term digital partner to enhance building safety and compliance in fire remediation projects.
The partnership follows a six-month evaluation process. ESS, a specialist residential contractor for housing associations, local authorities, and private developers, selected PlanRadar to simplify compliance with the Building Safety Act, particularly at Gateway 2 and 3 stages.
By implementing PlanRadar’s platform from the ground up, ESS will consolidate multiple specialised systems, including fire-stopping records and quality checks, into a single, centralised digital hub. This provides ESS with total visibility across its entire project portfolio, ensuring that a consistent “Golden Thread” of data is maintained to keep buildings compliant throughout their lifecycle.
A key factor in the decision was PlanRadar’s ability to strengthen quality monitoring. By digitising site inspections, ESS aims to significantly reduce rework, ensuring that high-stakes fire safety tasks are completed the first time correctly, thereby protecting both residents and client budgets.
Ray Toft, Managing Director at Errigal Sustainable Solutions, commented: “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.”
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 provide social landlords and developers with enhanced visibility over project progress and high-quality data to support building safety cases.
