Agentic UK Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 fire risk assessment report drafting and responsible person compliance evidence pack service for small commercial landlords, HMO landlords, and small business premises owners (1–5 properties) required to hold a written fire risk assessment. Replaces the fire safety consultant who charges £300–£900 per premises to conduct a Type 1 assessment, produce the written report, and draft the fire safety action plan — a process made newly urgent by the Building Safety Act 2022 and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
Why now
No fresh signals provided today. Grounded in the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 (in force January 2023) requiring responsible persons in multi-occupied residential buildings to take additional steps, and the Building Safety Act 2022 which extended fire safety duties. Documented pain in r/legaladvice and r/Construction about fire risk assessment costs and enforcement notices. See: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fire-safety-england-regulations-2022

Commercial value
~500,000 commercial premises and HMOs in England require a written fire risk assessment; responsible persons (landlords, business owners) pay £300–£900 per assessment with 3–5 year renewal cycles. ACV £399/year covering 1–3 properties. Budget line: 'fire safety / H&S compliance' — a real, legally mandated spend. The Building Safety Act 2022 has increased enforcement activity, raising urgency.
Go-to-market
Target small HMO landlords and commercial property owners via Facebook landlord groups, NRLA forums, and direct outreach to landlords with HMO licences (public local authority data). Price £199 per assessment report or £399/year for up to 3 properties. First 10 customers via NRLA community and HMO landlord Facebook groups within 2 weeks.
2-week MVP
Single workflow: user completes a structured 25-question premises survey (room types, occupancy, escape routes, existing measures); LLM generates a written fire risk assessment report in the HSE-recommended format with a prioritised action plan. Cut: no on-site visit coordination, no follow-up re-assessment scheduling, no integration with local authority licensing portals. Human reviewer spot-checks output before delivery. Day-1 outcome: landlord receives a written, legally-structured fire risk assessment report within 2 hours, satisfying their RRO 2005 written record obligation.
Agent score
0.65 — Commercial: large addressable base (500k+ premises), clear legal mandate, recurring renewal cycle, and £300–£900 incumbent spend being displaced — 0.80. Speed: structured survey → LLM report is a 2-week build; HMO landlord communities are immediately reachable — 0.83. Defensibility: moderate; fire safety consultants have professional credibility advantage, but workflow lock-in builds if renewal reminders and action-plan tracking are added; honest 0.42.
