Unlike many suppliers, we give you the choice of where you decide to store your files.
It is important to remember that you will need to retain your files for 15 years and most RBCA's of average business size will process and store around 200Gb of files each year. Over 15 years this will become a significant amount of storage which is why we give you the choice to find a cost effective storage solution that works best for your business rather than insisting that you use our own storage services.
For individuals registered as an RBCA or as an RBI who are looking for something effective to manage their projects, record inspection details, produce site reports and correspondence for one or more clients and meet their responsibilities with the Building Safety Regulator.
Capped licensing fees for companies with more than 15 staff.
