Health and Safety<br />

This is one of the major areas which is fundamental to<br />

the success of BE and therefore our clients. H&S is often<br />

overlooked or taken as a given. Bearing in mind that as<br />

Directors of the SMC, you are directly responsible for<br />

all aspects of Health and Safety and that all issues of<br />

compliance are met, it should be one of the main priorities<br />

for you.<br />

As such, BE continually invest heavily in H&S systems which<br />

are industry leading and the most transparent you will find<br />

of any property management company.<br />

As Directors, you are responsible for every single aspect<br />

of H&S throughout the development. By employing a<br />

management agent, this responsibility is not diminished,<br />

which is why it is important that you employ the correct<br />

one.<br />

By using the management expertise of BE you will<br />

know that your development is well managed and fully<br />

compliant with current legislation. Our in-house legal team<br />

will also be able to help with keeping you abreast of all<br />

future changes that are forthcoming and as such you will<br />

be fully prepared.<br />

Car Park Vents<br />

The car park vents are integral to the look of the<br />

courtyards and therefore need to have an attractive value,<br />

value-for-money, low maintenance solution.<br />

One solution, which would also deter residents from<br />

walking across them and therefore preventing damage, is<br />

to install planters or a sedum style roof. This is extremely<br />

hard wearing, low maintenance, attractive and will<br />

discourage vandalism.<br />

Car Park Lighting<br />

The car park lighting looks to be on constantly, and whilst<br />

we understand this from a security point of view, we have<br />

similar sites whereby this has been reduced whilst not<br />

creating a dangerous environment.<br />

This is done by changing the lighting to LEDs and to put<br />

them on PIR sensors, so that they are only on when they<br />

need to be. Therefore the car park will always be light if<br />

someone is in it and will be off the rest of the time.<br />

On our other sites where we have implemented this<br />

change, the lights have paid for themselves in less than<br />

18 months and the savings on electricity have been<br />

astonishing.
