You already juggle leases, fire regs, service charges, and finding someone to fix the lift.
On top of that the BSA piles compliance reporting, scheduled checks, contractor coordination, and an inbox of director and leaseholder questions you have already answered three times. Brocade gives you a single surface for the operational compliance work, checks, FRA actions, contractor magic-links, evidence, audit trail, and lets your directors and residents see what they need to without re-asking. Works alongside whatever back-office tools you already run.
For your directors and residents
Most directors and residents we hear from say the same thing: they want to see the compliance picture without filing a documentation request every other week. Three things change for you when they can.
Directors stop asking the same five questions
When the board can see fire risk assessment actions, scheduled checks, contract anniversaries, and budget category spend on a shared dashboard, the email volume drops. Inbox time goes back to the work, not to re-explaining what was done last quarter.
Residents see where the service charge goes
Leaseholders get a structured breakdown of spend by RICS category, not a one-line summary in a year-end pack. Fewer ad-hoc queries reach you, and the ones that do land with a shared reference point both sides can look at.
Board turnover stops being a fire-drill
New directors self-onboard from the same shared record. Less induction time for you, less starting-from-scratch for the new director. The building's history travels with the building, not with whoever held the WhatsApp thread.
Brocade is the surface your directors and residents see. Your back-office system stays where it is. Brocade complements it; it does not replace it.

Brocade is the shared layer that pulls these into one record your directors and residents can see.
- Portfolio dashboard: compliance status across every building at a glance
- Cost traceability: action to RICS category to leaseholder demand, every pound
- Contractor magic-link evidence flow (no accounts to manage, evidence routed automatically)
- Safety Case Report generated on demand, any building, any time
- BSR call-in readiness within 28 days, one dashboard, no scramble
- Golden-thread tracker per building, with a tamper-proof audit trail
- Section 20 health-check across portfolio (compare stages side-by-side, flag scope drift early)
- Leaseholder transparency portal (residents see the breakdown without you re-explaining)
Portfolio-wide compliance in one platform
Purpose-built for BSA compliance at portfolio scale, with a shared layer your directors and residents see.
Portfolio dashboard
One view across all buildings. Compliance status, gaps, and where your team's time goes next. Directors and residents see the same picture for the buildings they belong to.
Cross-building work
Active fire risk assessment actions, scheduled checks, and open issues across the portfolio in one place. Nothing slips because it lived on a single building spreadsheet.
Contractor tracking
Magic-link workflows for external contractors. No accounts to manage, no training. Evidence flows in automatically and is visible to your team and the building directors who need it.
Financial traceability
Every compliance cost flows from action to RICS budget category to service charge demand. Every pound traceable, in a structure leaseholders can read without re-explaining.
Batch operations
Schedule checks, assign contractors, and generate demands across multiple buildings in one action. The volume work that used to take a week becomes a single afternoon.
Building type templates
Pre-configured compliance frameworks for different building types. New buildings onboarded in minutes, not days. The shared record is ready before the first director logs in.
