Building Compliance

In today’s complex regulatory landscape, ensuring your building portfolio meets its legal obligations for technical statutory compliance and energy efficiency and reporting is a critical, non-negotiable task. Navigating the intricacies of legislation like MEES, ESOS, and EPCs can be a significant drain on resources, with the risk of non-compliance leading to financial penalties and reputational damage.

At LCMB, we provide the specialist expertise to cut through the complexity​​. We ensure you not only meet your legal obligations but turn compliance into a strategic advantage, future-proofing your assets and uncovering opportunities for improved efficiency along the way.

Our compliance solutions

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is fundamental to your building’s efficiency, while the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) make it impossible to let properties with a poor rating. We provide a complete strategic service that goes beyond simple certification. Our work includes creating a portfolio-wide risk register to identify assets vulnerable to non-compliance, developing costed, long-term improvement plans minimising the capital investment required to protect asset value, and providing the EPCs required for sale or rental. We turn MEES from a regulatory hurdle into a trigger for strategic investment, safeguarding your rental income and enhancing your portfolio’s value.

ESOS is a mandatory energy assessment for large UK undertakings, requiring detailed audits to identify savings. Our registered ESOS Lead Assessors manage the entire compliance lifecycle. We conduct comprehensive energy audits covering your buildings, transport, and industrial processes to identify significant energy-saving opportunities. We then deliver a fully compliant evidence pack for the Environment Agency and, crucially, translate the findings into compelling business cases, presenting a prioritised list of costed recommendations designed to deliver substantial and lasting energy cost reductions.

 

DECs are a legal requirement for public buildings, displaying the actual energy performance to the public. Our service ensures not just compliance, but continuous improvement. We manage the annual data collection, site visits, and lodging of the DEC and its accompanying Advisory Report. We then proactively use the insights from the report to work with your on-site teams, providing clear, actionable recommendations to improve the building’s operational rating year-on-year, helping you demonstrate a tangible commitment to energy efficiency to the public.

It can be an overwhelming task to ensure your building assets comply with and are maintained in line with statutory and regulatory requirements. Systems such as lifts, water systems, electrical wiring and infrastructure, ventilation etc. all need to be managed to ensure they are safe and comply. Our team can review, audit and give you a compliance health report, the guidance and tools to ensure you discharge your obligations protecting your people and assets.
