Since Grenfell and the Building Safety Act, fire compliance has become the most scrutinised part of a property manager's job — and the one where a paper trail with open actions is most exposed. Fire compliance software focuses on that domain specifically: current assessments, actions tracked to closure, fire doors and equipment on schedule, and building-safety records kept current. This guide covers what to look for, and how the options compare. It sits under the best property compliance software guide.
What property managers need from fire compliance software
Fire risk assessments
A current FRA for every premises and communal area you're responsible for, with review dates tracked so none goes stale.
fire risk assessment software →Action plan tracking
The findings and remedial actions from each FRA tracked to closure — because the assessment is only as good as the actions that follow it.
FRA action plans →Fire door & equipment checks
Fire door inspections, emergency lighting, alarms and extinguisher servicing recorded on schedule with reminders.
inspection tracking →Communal & building safety
Communal fire safety across blocks and, for higher-risk buildings, the Building Safety Act record-keeping — held in one place and kept current.
building safety →Remediation & evidence
A defensible record of the fire-safety position for each building — assessments, actions, checks — producible on demand for a fire officer or a resident.
compliance evidence →Portfolio fire view
Fire status across every property at a glance — what's assessed, what's due for review and what actions are outstanding, and where.
property compliance →The action plan is the point
A fire risk assessment identifies what needs fixing; the compliance lives in whether those actions are actually done. The common, dangerous failure is a drawer of assessments with remedial actions nobody tracked. Good fire compliance software holds the FRA, tracks every action to closure, and schedules the review — so the position is current and provable, not just assessed once and filed.
How Complys handles fire compliance
Complys holds a current FRA per building, tracks the action plan to closure, schedules fire door and equipment checks, and keeps the fire-safety record producible on demand across the portfolio — see fire risk assessment software and, for communal buildings, block management compliance and the fire & asbestos for property page. The competent fire-risk assessment itself is carried out by a suitable assessor; Complys manages the record and the follow-through.
