Why housing FRA teams switch
The site visit is the easy part. Everything after it is where the day goes.
01
Write-up time outweighs site time. Most assessors are not slow on the building. They are slow back at the desk reconciling notes, photos, and Word templates.02
Evidence sprawls. Photos sit in the camera roll, observations in WhatsApp, risk scores in a spreadsheet, and the report ends up reconstructed three days later with cold context.03
Reviewers are the bottleneck. The senior is reading the same five paragraphs across twelve reports, looking for the one that is wrong.04
Defensibility gaps cost on the next tender. Landlord challenges and insurer queries hit hardest when the audit trail is a folder.From visit to signed report
A housing-specific workflow built around BS 9792.
01
Capture on site
Walk the building with one tool open. Observations, photos, locations, and risk scores attach to the right BS 9792 section as you record them.
02
Draft from evidence
AI turns structured findings into report-ready paragraphs. Every line carries a footnote link back to the photo or observation that justified it.
03
Review by exception
A reviewer queue surfaces high-risk sections, AI-drafted text, and changes since the last assessment. The competent person reads what matters.
04
Issue with confidence
Branded PDF and Word output that looks like a defensible FRA, not a form printout. Full audit trail attached.
Three things most FRA tools get wrong
Built for the standard, not retrofitted to it.
01
BS 9792:2025 native
Data model, capture flow, and report skeleton mirror the current housing standard. Not a PAS 79 form library with a new label on it.
02
Evidence-linked AI paragraphs
Every AI sentence carries a verifiable link back to its source photo, observation, or risk score. The reviewer trusts the draft because they can audit it in one click.
03
Reviewer-first sign-off
A two-step assessor and competent-person flow with an exception queue, change diff, and audit trail. The reviewer stops being the bottleneck.
Operational fit
One platform from Tuesday’s site visit to Thursday’s signed report.
A typical week in a small UK housing consultancy looks like this. The assessor visits a 32-flat block on Tuesday, the report is reviewed and signed by Wednesday end of day, and the landlord has a branded PDF on Thursday morning. The same loop runs every week, on every block, with the audit trail accruing automatically.
01
Tuesday · On site
Walk every floor with FRA Flow open on a tablet. Observations, photos, locations and risk scores attach to the right BS 9792 section as you record them. No reconciling a camera roll later.
02
Tuesday evening · Drafting
The report is already 80 percent drafted from your structured findings. Review each AI paragraph next to its source observation, edit where judgement requires, queue for review.
03
Wednesday to Thursday · Review and issue
The reviewer opens an exception queue, not a finished document. They sign off the high-risk and AI-drafted sections in minutes. The landlord receives a branded report with a defensible chain back to the visit.
How we build
Designed beside experienced UK housing fire risk assessors.
FRA Flow is built in close collaboration with practising fire risk assessors who run UK housing FRAs every week. Every workflow choice, from how observations attach to BS 9792 sections to how the reviewer queue surfaces exceptions, is informed by real housing assessment work, not generic compliance-software thinking.
That collaboration shapes our editorial discipline too. Pages on this site are reviewed by people who have done the work, not by generalist marketers. We do not publish invented metrics, we do not run a "trusted by" logo bar before a customer has shipped a report through the platform, and pre-pilot status is stated where it applies.
01
Pages are dated. Every meaningful page carries an Updated date stamp.02
Pages are attributed. Every page has a named author byline.03
Stop-slop discipline. Every push that touches marketing copy goes through an automated scan that blocks AI drama before deploy.04
BS 9792 references are sourced. Standards content links to BSI, legislation.gov.uk, and our own standards reference.Plans and pricing
Priced like a report production system.
Reviewer and admin seats are free on every paid tier. Report credits are pooled across the team so one busy assessor does not run out while another has spare capacity. Annual billing saves around 17 percent. See full tiers, including the free tier and Enterprise, on the pricing page.

How we compare
Where FRA Flow fits next to the tools you have used.
If your team currently uses Word templates and a photo folder, FRA Flow replaces the reconciliation work between visit and report. Observations land in structured form on site, photos attach to findings as you record them, and the reviewer sees a clean queue instead of a finished document. The hardest part of switching is dropping the muscle memory of the old template. See the Word FRA template alternative page for a side by side.
If your team uses PocketSurvey, you keep the tablet-first capture you are used to and pick up the report-drafting and reviewer workflow that PocketSurvey leaves to you. FRA Flow is built around what happens after the survey, including AI-assisted drafting that traces back to your observations and a reviewer sign-off discipline. Read the PocketSurvey alternative write-up for the detail.
If your team uses Riskbase, the change is positioning. Riskbase is form-builder oriented and PAS 79-shaped. FRA Flow is BS 9792-shaped and built around the reviewer being the bottleneck, with the report skeleton and audit trail mirroring the current standard. The Riskbase alternative page covers what moves and what does not.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask before they commit to a new workflow.
FAQ 01
Is AI in fire safety reports a liability risk?
AI in FRA Flow accelerates drafting but never signs off. Every AI-generated paragraph is editable, auditable, and traceable to the photo, observation, or risk score that produced it. The competent person signs off the report, not the AI. The audit trail records who approved which version against which evidence, which strengthens defensibility under the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than weakening it.
FAQ 02
We just rebuilt our templates around PAS 79. Why move to BS 9792 software now?
BS 9792:2025 is the current British Standard for housing fire risk assessment, and PAS 79 has been formally retired. Landlords, insurers, and tribunals will increasingly expect BS 9792-aligned outputs. Software built around BS 9792 makes that transition operational rather than another template rewrite. See our PAS 79 vs BS 9792 guide for the practical differences.
FAQ 03
Where is our customer data stored?
All customer data, including database, file storage, and AI inference, runs in UK or EU regions only. Nothing leaves the European Economic Area. Full security and data-handling details are on the security page.
FAQ 04
What does pricing actually cost a small consultancy?
A 5-assessor Practice team is £249 base plus 5 × £49 = £494 per month on monthly billing, or roughly £394 per month on annual. That includes 40 pooled report credits per month, free reviewer and admin seats, and per-landlord branding. Overage is £12 per report. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
FAQ 05
How long does it take to switch from Word or a spreadsheet?
A single assessor can run their next FRA in FRA Flow on day one. Migration of historical reports is not required: FRA Flow becomes the system for new assessments and annual reviews going forward. Most contractors find their first BS 9792 report through FRA Flow takes about the same time as a Word report, and every subsequent report is faster.
FAQ 06
What does the reviewer see that they do not see today?
The reviewer opens an exception queue rather than a finished document. The queue surfaces high-risk findings, AI-drafted paragraphs that have not been edited yet, and changes since the last assessment on the same building. Sign-off is one action with a full audit trail attached. This shifts the reviewer from line-by-line reading to judgement-led review.
