A compliance system that fills itself in

Most compliance software is bought and then abandoned half-configured, because somebody has to decide what to track and type it all in. That is the job you were trying to buy your way out of.

The register, including the gaps

Tell us the property type and the duties that apply appear — every type in the catalogue carries at least 54. Each one shows as valid, expiring, overdue or missing. A duty with no record at all is shown as loudly as an expired one, because to an enforcing authority it usually is worse.

Maintenance you do not type

Register a passenger lift and you get its monthly alarm test and its six-monthly LOLER examination, tasks already written. 1,053 tasks across 133 asset types, each on the right frequency. A late visit never shifts the cycle.

Inspections on a phone

18 ready-made forms with 169 checks between them — fire doors, emergency lighting, extinguishers, roofs — each with its pass condition and the standard behind it. Photograph what you find, sign it off, and turn a failed check into a tracked action in one tap.

AI that reads your certificates

Upload an EICR or a fire risk assessment and have its dates, certificate number and remedial actions extracted, each citing the page it came from. Nothing it finds counts towards compliance until you have checked it against that page and accepted it.

Contractors close out their own jobs

Give a supplier a login that shows only their work, in only their buildings. They report a job done and upload the certificate; you close it when you hold the evidence. Their uploads land in the document store and become searchable.

Ask it questions

Which buildings have an expired EICR? When was the lift last serviced? What is still open from the last fire risk assessment? The assistant answers from the register and from the documents behind it, and says where each answer came from.

What is covered

91 regimes across every property type — residential, mixed-use, office, retail, industrial, healthcare, education and leisure. Each one cites the regulation or standard it comes from.

AI reads it. A person signs it off.

Reading a fire risk assessment and pulling out twenty remedial actions is the single biggest time saving here. It is also the place where being wrong matters most, so it is built to be checked rather than trusted.

  • Everything AI produces is a proposal. It is excluded from every compliance figure — it cannot turn a red building green, is not counted as open work, and chases nobody by email.
  • Every extraction cites the page it came from, and the review screen links straight to it. A finding that cannot be attributed to a page is discarded rather than kept at lower confidence.
  • Accepting a proposal records who accepted it and when. Until somebody does, it does not count.
  • Dates must be unambiguous. UK certificates and American software write dates in opposite orders, so anything that cannot be read with certainty is dropped rather than guessed at.

PM Assist never asserts that a building is compliant on the strength of a machine’s reading. A person does, having been shown the page it came from.

Guides to the duties it tracks

Questions

What is building compliance software?
Building compliance software tracks the statutory duties a property carries — fire risk assessments, electrical installation condition reports, gas safety checks, legionella control, lift examinations, asbestos management and more — along with the evidence that each one has been discharged, and the remedial actions arising. PM Assist ships with 91 UK regimes configured, 63 of them statutory, so a new building's register can be stood up without deciding what to track.
How is this different from a CAFM system?
A CAFM system holds the schedule and the register but treats certificates as attachments: you can see that a document exists, not what is in it. PM Assist holds both. The compliance register and the planned maintenance work the way a CAFM system's do, and the documents behind them are read, indexed and searchable — so you can ask what the last EICR actually said, not just when it was filed.
Does it cover the Building Safety Act and higher-risk buildings?
Yes. Mark a building as higher-risk and the golden thread duties appear alongside the rest: BSR registration and Key Building Information, the safety case report, the building assessment certificate, mandatory occurrence reporting, the resident engagement strategy, and the requirement to hold building safety information digitally. They are hidden on buildings that are not higher-risk, so an office is never shown a resident engagement strategy.
Can AI read our existing certificates?
It can read a certificate or report and propose what it says — which regime it evidences, the issue and expiry dates, the certificate number, the contractor, and any remedial actions with the page each came from. Everything it produces is a proposal. It is excluded from every compliance figure until a person has checked it against the source page and accepted it, so an AI reading can never by itself mark a building compliant.
What property types does it cover?
Residential blocks, mixed-use, offices, retail, industrial, healthcare, education and leisure. The duties shown are filtered by property type — every type carries at least 54 duties in the catalogue — so you see what applies to the building in front of you rather than a generic list.
Do I have to type in all our maintenance schedules?
No, and this is usually the reason a compliance system gets abandoned half-configured. Register an asset and its maintenance programme is generated from a library of 133 asset types and 1,053 tasks, each already on the right frequency. Adding a passenger lift produces its monthly alarm test and its six-monthly LOLER examination with the tasks written.
Can our contractors use it?
Contractors can be given a login that shows only the jobs assigned to their company, in buildings assigned to their company. They report a job complete with notes and upload the certificate; you close it once you are satisfied with the evidence. Their uploads go into the building's document store and become searchable like anything else.
Can we get the register out for an auditor?
Yes — the compliance register, the remedial actions and the asset list all export to CSV. The register export lists every duty that applies, not only the ones you hold a record for, so the gaps are visible in the document an auditor opens rather than absent from it.

Intervals in the catalogue are typical for each standard and are a starting point. The interval that applies to your building may be shorter — set by your risk assessment, your insurer or the equipment itself. Always confirm against the current regulation and your own assessments.
