How Indura helps maintain compliance through the RIBA Stages

Construction projects come with a variety of challenges, and compliance is one of the most important. From the early planning stages right through to the final handover, staying on top of regulations is key to ensuring everything runs smoothly. Indura offers the tools and solutions to help you keep your project compliant at every phase. Whether it’s managing documents, tracking approvals, or ensuring safety protocols are followed, Indura makes it easier to stay organised and on track.


Here’s how we help maintain compliance through each stage of the RIBA process.


RIBA Stage 0 – Strategic Definition

Indura PMP:
Compliance begins with effective planning. Indura centralises all project documents and discussions, ensuring nothing is overlooked. RIBA-aligned templates provide clear guidance, allowing you to establish well-defined objectives that are easily trackable and accessible.


RIBA Stage 1 – Preparation and Brief

Indura PMP:
Ensuring compliance during the briefing phase is critical. Indura’s digital tools allow for efficient collaboration, helping you track design updates and approvals with ease. All changes are recorded and stored, ensuring a clear audit trail and minimising the risk of non-compliance.


RIBA Stage 2 – Concept Design

Indura PMP:
Managing design approvals can be complex, but Indura ensures full control and transparency. Real-time documentation of changes and approvals helps you stay compliant. Additionally, Indura secures sensitive project data by ensuring that only authorised personnel have access.


RIBA Stage 3 – Spatial Coordination

Indura PMP:
At this stage, staying compliant means ensuring that all design modifications are properly documented and approved. Indura’s platform offers real-time reporting to track submissions and approvals, reducing the chance of errors or missed details.


RIBA Stage 4 – Technical Design

Indura PMP:
Technical compliance is crucial during this phase. Indura provides efficient workflows to store and manage technical details, ensuring all required documents are easily accessible and ready for audits, ensuring smooth adherence to regulations.


RIBA Stage 5 – Construction

Indura PMP, Indura SMS, & Indura SFS:
The construction phase demands strict compliance to ensure safety and collaboration among all parties. Indura PMP organises all construction documents, while Indura SMS manages all permits, documentation, and RAMS in one central location, ensuring long-term compliance is maintained. Indura SFS keeps the safety file current with automated reminders, ensuring it remains compliant throughout the project. 


RIBA Stage 6 – Handover

Indura SFS:
At the handover stage, compliance must be meticulously maintained. Indura SFS ensures the safety file is complete and fully compliant, ready for the transition to ongoing building management. The process is streamlined, leaving no gaps in compliance.


RIBA Stage 7 – In Use

Indura SFS & Indura FMS:
Even after construction is complete, compliance remains critical. Indura SFS integrates the safety file into the building’s O&M manual, while Indura FMS simplifies the scheduling and management of building inspections. 


Ensuring compliance throughout every phase of a construction project can be a challenging task, but Indura makes it simpler. From planning through to completion and beyond, Indura provides the tools you need to stay organised, compliant, and on schedule.

How Many Hours Does Your FM Team Lose Every Week to Paperwork?

Facilities management teams are under constant pressure to keep buildings safe, compliant, and operational. Yet across many estates, one of the biggest drains on time and productivity has nothing to do with maintenance itself. It’s the struggle to find the right information when it’s needed most. 

Smarter Facilities Management: Reducing Risk, Cutting Admin, and Staying Compliant

Facilities management has changed. What used to rely on paper checklists, spreadsheets, and reactive maintenance now demands structure, visibility, and accountability. Whether you’re managing a care home, business premises, school, or residential portfolio, the pressure to stay compliant while keeping operations running smoothly is constant.

Why Manual Safety File Management No Longer Cuts It

Managing safety files for project handover is essential. Managing them manually is where problems begin.

Paper files, scattered spreadsheets, and endless email chains may feel familiar, but they create risk. Under the Building Safety Act and Golden Thread requirements for HRBs (high risk buildings), safety documentation must be structured, accurate, and traceable. Manual systems rarely meet that standard.
