Built for housing teams
Fire risk assessment software for in-house compliance leads at housing associations.
You commission the FRA programme across your stock, you track the action plan to close-out, and you carry the regulatory weight when something goes wrong. FRA Flow gives you portfolio-wide visibility, an audit trail your reviewer trusts, and reporting outputs the Regulator of Social Housing can read without reformatting.
No card. Two reports a month, free forever.
- Portfolio visibility
- Action plan tracking
- Audit-ready evidence
Day to day
What an in-house compliance officer needs from FRA software day to day.
01
A portfolio view of every active FRA: which buildings are due, due soon, and overdue.02
Action plan visibility across the stock: open items by priority, by building, by responsible team.03
A clean audit trail tied to each assessment: who did the work, who reviewed it, what the evidence was, when it was signed off.04
Output formats the in-house team can hand to the Regulator, the Board, or the executive sponsor without reformatting in Word.05
A reviewer queue separated from open assessor work, so QA bottlenecks are visible before they become missed deadlines.06
Integration with the wider compliance picture: FRAs sit alongside gas, electrical, water hygiene and asbestos in the regulatory picture.Pressure points
The regulatory framework you operate under.
The Regulator of Social Housing's revised consumer standards include the Safety and Quality Standard, which expects registered providers to identify and meet all legal requirements relating to the health and safety of tenants in their homes and communal areas. Fire risk assessment is explicitly named in the regulatory framework. The new inspection regime (under the Social Housing Regulation Act 2023) means the Regulator can and does ask to see the FRA programme: sample reports plus the operational picture that demonstrates active management.
Awaab's Law adds a second axis. Fire safety is not currently inside Awaab's Law as it stands, but the trajectory of regulation is toward time-bound response duties on hazards, and a programme that has weak action plan tracking will struggle as that trajectory continues. The pragmatic compliance officer treats the current FRA action plan discipline as preparation for the regulatory environment that is already coming, alongside the one currently in force.
Programme view
How FRA Flow exposes the programme picture.
01
Property-level dashboard
Every property in the portfolio shows its current FRA status, next periodic review date, and open action count at a glance.
02
Reviewer queue
Assessments waiting on competent reviewer sign-off surface as a separate queue. Bottlenecks in the QA process are visible before they become missed deadlines.
03
Portfolio rollup
Open actions across the stock, grouped by priority and by responsible team. Suitable for a monthly compliance committee paper without reformatting.
04
Significant change handling
Cladding works, fire door replacement, change of occupancy: each significant change triggers a re-assessment that resets the periodic clock. The audit trail explains why.
05
Per-landlord branding
For housing groups with multiple landlord brands, each branded report inherits the right colour palette and contact details automatically. No manual reformatting.
06
Audit handover pack
When the Regulator asks, the compliance officer can produce a portfolio-level evidence pack that maps to the relevant Standard with one export.
Working with assessors
Using FRA Flow whether the assessment is in-house or contracted.
Most housing associations use a mix. Some FRAs are carried out by an in-house competent assessor team; others are carried out by a specialist consultancy on contract. FRA Flow supports both models without forcing a choice. In-house assessors work in the same FRA Flow workspace as the compliance team, with the assessor and reviewer roles separated. Contracted consultancies can be given guest access to the relevant property records, do the work, and submit reports back into the same workflow the compliance officer monitors.
The output is a single picture of the programme rather than a folder of PDFs from different sources. When the Regulator asks where a specific report is, it is one click away. When the executive asks what is open across the portfolio, the answer is on a dashboard rather than in a spreadsheet someone built last quarter.
Buying signal
What separates housing-focused FRA software from generic tools.
A generic inspection-management product can capture a building visit. It cannot tell the difference between a Type 1 FRA on a block of flats and a Type 4 FRA on a hospital. A general-purpose compliance tool can track action plans across asset categories. It cannot help the assessor write a defensible BS 9792-shaped narrative finding from on-site evidence. For an in-house compliance officer, the right software is the one built around housing FRA specifically: the standards, the dutyholder model, the building stock, the language. Generic tools require workarounds. FRA Flow does not.

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](/pricing/).

FAQ
Questions buyers ask before they commit to a new workflow.
FAQ 01
Can multiple compliance officers across our group use FRA Flow at once?
Yes. FRA Flow supports multiple admin and compliance users in the same workspace, with role-based access controls. Each user sees the portfolio view and the assessments relevant to their scope, without conflicting on the same record.
FAQ 02
How does FRA Flow handle reports for the Regulator of Social Housing?
Every assessment produces an issued report PDF that follows the BS 9792 structure the Regulator expects. The portfolio-level dashboard supports the wider evidence pack the Regulator asks for at inspection: an active programme view, action plan close-out tracking, and an audit trail per report.
FAQ 03
Can we use FRA Flow alongside a contracted consultancy?
Yes. Contracted consultancies can be given guest access to relevant property records, carry out the assessment in FRA Flow, and submit it back into the workspace the compliance team monitors. The output is one programme picture rather than a folder of PDFs from different sources.
FAQ 04
How does FRA Flow track action plans across the stock?
Each assessment generates an action plan tied to its significant findings. Actions roll up to a portfolio dashboard grouped by priority, by building, and by responsible team. The compliance officer can see at any time what is open across the stock, what is overdue, and what was closed when by whom.
FAQ 05
What about Awaab's Law and time-bound response duties?
Fire safety is not currently inside the scope of Awaab's Law as it stands. The regulatory direction is toward time-bound response duties on hazards generally. FRA Flow's action plan tracking is built so that, when those duties extend, you have the evidence in place to demonstrate compliance from the start.
FAQ 06
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. This matters for housing associations operating under UK GDPR with sensitive resident data attached to property records. Full security and data-handling details are on the security page.
