Salus 2023 Spotlight

Formed twenty years ago in 2003, with our head office in Hinckley, we are a leading provider for Building Regulation Approval & Inspection Services and Fire Safety Consultancy, working alongside our clients on their schemes including many award-winning iconic buildings throughout the Midlands.

In the twenty years of providing compliance without complexity we have provided our services on over 54,500 projects with total fees in the region of £78.4m. across all sectors.

Our Fire Safety Consultancy has been further expanded with the appointment of 3 additional Senior Fire Safety Consultants.

As we move into late 2023 the whole building control industry sees a raft of changes in the procedural requirements and introduces new regulations which will affect all those involved in the construction of schemes whether you are the owner, the procurer of the work, a member of the design team or a member of the construction team.

Additionally, those involved in buildings over 18m in height which contain dwellings or is a care home or hospital will need to satisfy the requirements and processes of the Building Safety Regulator including being able to demonstrate that all the members of the supply chain from conception to complete are competent to provide their services.

By April 2024 all building control surveyors will need to demonstrate their competency to work on the projects they undertake and will become Registered Building Inspectors. This is likely the start of all those involved within the construction industry having to demonstrate their competency.

Salus welcomes these changes and is a big step forward in improving the standards of buildings and building practices moving forward.in this ever-changing challenging marketplace.

Salus (Latin for ‘Safety’) aim to be the ‘best’ approved inspectors and fire safety consultant in the UK marketplace. Our services help clients to achieve ‘building compliance without complexity’.

Salus believe in ensuring that by having a clear honest approach we can offer and meet our clients’ needs in ensuring that their vision is realised whilst meeting the challenging requirements of Building Regulations and Fire Safety legislation by providing Building Compliance Without Complexity.

To gain recognition for being the best at what we do by not just providing a regulatory service but by going the extra mile. Clients come to us because they see us as part of their team. The values that help us to uphold our mission and should be reflected in the ‘tone of voice’ in all communications that we have with each other, our clients and contacts are to be: respectful, professional, flexible, have clarity in our communication, work as a team and have total pride in our work.

We aim for Salus to be a great place to work by being clear about our business objectives and by continuously investing into improving the ‘value’ of what we do. We have a very low staff turnover rate and over a third of our colleagues have been with us for more than 10 years and the majority are approaching this milestone and 2023 saw the first of our colleagues achieving the 20 years milestone.
