In-Use Compliance Services
Overview
Focus 360 Energy provides nationwide In-Use Compliance Services, helping property owners, landlords, housing associations, and asset managers stay on top of ongoing safety and compliance obligations.
Once a building has been completed and handed over, the compliance journey does not end. Ongoing inspections, surveys, and certification are critical to maintaining safe, efficient, and legally compliant properties.
Where In-Use Compliance Fits in the Building Lifecycle
In-Use Compliance represents the final stage of the building lifecycle. Once planning has been approved, building control satisfied, and handover certification achieved, ongoing compliance ensures the property continues to meet statutory requirements throughout its operational life.
For landlords, housing associations, and commercial asset managers, this stage is critical in demonstrating a duty of care to tenants and protecting investment value.
