Let’s discuss how we can help you do the same.
Bridging the Gap Between Policy and Practice
Every new regulation reshapes how the built environment works.
Enframe exists to make that change manageable — translating legislation into practical systems that raise standards, reduce risk, and strengthen trust between government, industry, and the public.
Our works spans three pillars
Consulting:
We help clients interpret regulation and design systems that deliver compliance, performance, and confidence.
-
We work with international clients, regulators, and public bodies to design frameworks that embed competence, accountability, and performance in the built environment.
From process mapping to policy pilots, Enframe brings insight from both architectural practice and regulatory reform.
-
We believe ideas should lead action.
We challenge assumptions, explore systemic reform, and propose solutions grounded in real-world practice.
-
Enframe brings decades of experience in architecture and across the construction lifecycle to your event or panel, speaking on innovation, regulation, and the future of professional competence.
Digital Tools:
Our platforms, BuildingSafety.app, assessThat, learnThat, and developThat, transform complex regulatory requirements into usable digital frameworks.
-
Competence made measurable.
assessThat enables organisations to evaluate and evidence the skills, roles, and responsibilities required under the Building Safety Act and other regulatory frameworks.
Build trust, demonstrate assurance, and close the gap between policy and people.
