SAMRISK v2

  • PlatformPlatformA new design across the app: our own type, square corners, and words in place of most icons.
  • BuildingsBuildingsEach building’s overview sits under its 3D model, with risk shown on the floor it belongs to.
  • MapsPlatformMap tools in words: layers, measuring with area and perimeter, and then and now between dated aerial captures.
  • PlatformPlatformDates shown the British way everywhere, whatever language your browser uses.
  • PlatformPlatformThe work dated June 2026 below reached every customer today, with everything else on this date.

Security and permissions

  • PeoplePlatformRemoved members can no longer see company records.
  • PeoplePlatformOnly admins change roles, and nobody can change their own.
  • PeoplePlatformWhoever creates a company is its admin.
  • BillingPlatformPlans, paid tools and extras are changed by admins only; managers see what is on and who to ask.
  • Visitor logBuildingsSigning in at the door still needs no account, and the log itself is seen only by your company.
  • AuditsBuildingsCompleted audits are locked, and deleting a building or site is for admins only.

Evidence to close, and the golden thread

  • TasksPlatformHigh priority actions, and actions raised from a finding, need evidence and a closing note before they close.
  • Safety caseBuildingsThe golden thread records every opening, change, closure and piece of evidence, and nothing on it can be edited or deleted.
  • AuditsBuildingsMark a failed answer on the floor plan: it pins there, colours its floor on the model and raises an action.
  • TasksPlatformRaise an action from a failed inspection or an asset; it takes that floor and room and links back to where it came from.
  • TasksPlatformPost updates on an action; an action with no update in 30 days is flagged.

Floor plans and the building’s shape

  • Floor plansBuildingsThe plan editor works in metres, with a rail of floors, a panel for the selected room, and repeat a floor to copy its rooms up the building.
  • Floor plansBuildingsFire doors and other inspections placed on the plan, coloured by their latest result.
  • BuildingsBuildingsAdd a building with its storeys, height and homes; the model draws as you type and the higher-risk test answers as you go.
  • Assets and inspectionsBuildingsPrint QR labels for assets, 21 to an A4 sheet; each code opens the asset’s page.
  • BuildingsBuildingsThe buildings list filters to higher-risk buildings and shows each height.
  • BuildingsBuildingsA building’s address is made once, in words, and stays the same when you rename it.

The compliance matrix and one document store

  • CompliancePlatformChoose your statutory checks once; every building and site inherits them.
  • CompliancePlatformOne matrix shows which checks are in date at every place.
  • CompliancePlatformMark a check done: its certificate is filed as evidence and the next date rolls on.
  • DocumentsPlatformBuildings and sites share one document store, and a document can say what it proves and until when.
  • SitesLandSite certificates filed when a site check is marked done.

The regulator journey and following a place

  • Safety caseBuildingsThe regulator journey for higher-risk buildings: each dated step with the regulator, on the golden thread.
  • Safety caseBuildingsSafety case versions say why they exist, lock once approved or submitted, and any two can be compared.
  • FollowingPlatformFollow a building or site and choose which events tell you.
  • FollowingPlatformManagers can post an update to everyone following a place.
  • NotificationsPlatformChoose how each kind of notification reaches you.
