What It Is

RiskBase is a fire and building risk assessment platform provided by RiskBase Ltd, designed for property managers, fire safety consultants, contractors, and large public-sector or enterprise organizations. It turns traditional one-off PDF reports into continuously evolving building safety data records, emphasizing a “golden thread” of historical records, traceable audits, and real-time updates.

Core Capabilities

The platform covers scenarios such as fire risk assessments, compartmentation surveys, fire strategies, FRAEW, door inspections, wall surveys, and routine inspections. Its on-site capabilities are fairly comprehensive: it supports asset-level surveys, placing markers on floor plans, zoomable viewing of DWG/PDF files, QR-code tagging for assets or locations, and the creation of a defensible audit trail that links assessment results, photos, timestamps, and remedial actions. Offline functionality is a key strength: multiple assessors can work on the same survey simultaneously without network access, then securely sync once connectivity is restored. On the output side, it supports automatic generation of branded PDF reports and can route recommendations into a task management portal. Its resident engagement module can be used for resident information collection, verification, and RPEEPs workflows.

Pricing and Security

Pricing is disclosed as pay as you go, with no joining fee, no long-term commitment, and no limits on clients, users, or number of assessments, but specific unit pricing and billing metrics are not publicly available. Security information is relatively comprehensive: the official website mentions ISO 27001, ISO 9001, MFA, SAML, and regular CREST penetration testing. It also provides access to a Trust Centre, privacy policy, and terms.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths include deep coverage of vertical use cases, a strong offline field experience, customizable templates and workflows, and the ability to connect reports, tasks, resident engagement, and third-party systems into a continuous data framework. Its support for standard templates such as PAS 79 and BS 9792 makes it well suited to UK fire safety assessment workflows. The drawbacks are that pricing is not transparent, third-party integrations are only broadly described as open APIs without a specific app list, and there is no clear information on self-hosting, data residency regions, or a fine-grained permissions model.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to property management companies, fire risk assessment consultants, local governments, and large asset owners in the UK and Ireland. For users in China, the website does not provide information on access from China, Chinese localization, or domestic compliance, so its accessibility should be considered unknown. In addition, its regulations and templates are strongly tied to UK and Irish contexts, so cross-region deployment would require further evaluation.
