Nearly one year on from launching Insite, we're proud to reflect on the impact the service has already made for clients across a range of sectors and buildings.

Insite is Curtins' bespoke service for existing buildings and estates, providing dedicated structural and building safety expertise from initial surveys and assessments through to design, remediation and delivery.

Aligned with the requirements of the Building Safety Act, Insite helps clients better understand the structural risks associated with their built assets, enabling informed decision-making and confident planning for the future.

Insite Delivers

Our structured approach provides a comprehensive overview of each building, including:

  • Building Typology

  • Building Safety Act Classification 

  • Known Defects and Issues 

  • Structural Risk Category 

  • Generic Hazard Profile 

  • Unacceptable Risks

This robust foundation allows us to support clients throughout the lifecycle of their existing buildings, ensuring a coordinated approach aligned with the RIBA Plan of Work 2020 and Golden Thread principles.
