About Custodia
Making property compliance achievable
Custodia was born from a simple observation: property managers and landlords shouldn’t need five different systems to track fire risk assessments, EICR certificates, legionella compliance, gas safety, and asbestos surveys. We’re building the compliance management platform that changes that.
The name “Custodia” comes from Latin, meaning guardianship and protection — reflecting our core mission to safeguard both properties and the people who live and work in them.
Our Mission
To empower every property professional — from individual landlords tracking gas safety certificates and EICR expiry dates to large managing agents overseeing fire risk assessments and Building Safety Act compliance across thousands of buildings — with intuitive, affordable compliance management software that makes health and safety straightforward.
The challenges building owners face every day
Compliance complexity is overwhelming
Fire risk assessments, legionella risk assessments, asbestos surveys, gas safety certificates, EICR certificates, EPC ratings, HMO licensing, fire door inspections — each with different expiry dates, regulatory requirements, and documentation needs. Managing all of this across multiple properties using spreadsheets is a compliance management failure waiting to happen.
Disconnected systems create dangerous gaps
Most property managers use one tool for finances, another for maintenance, a separate system for health and safety tracking, and paper files for compliance certificates. When your compliance management system doesn’t connect fire risk assessments, EICR reports, gas safety records, and legionella logs, dangerous gaps appear — and gaps in property compliance can mean fines, prosecution, or worse.
Building inspections are still analogue
Fire door inspections, legionella temperature checks, and asbestos re-inspections happen in basements, plant rooms, and older buildings with poor or no connectivity. Property managers still carry clipboards, take handwritten notes, and re-enter risk assessment data later. It wastes time and introduces errors.
The Building Safety Act 2022 has raised the stakes
Building Safety Act golden thread requirements demand a complete digital audit trail for every higher-risk building. The Building Safety Regulator has sweeping enforcement powers, and most existing compliance software wasn’t designed for this level of regulatory scrutiny, leaving building owners exposed.
Custodia exists to solve every one of these problems — in a single, purpose-built platform.

Our Journey
Research
Extensive analysis of the property compliance landscape — studying how property managers handle fire risk assessments, EICR certificates, legionella compliance, gas safety, asbestos surveys, and Building Safety Act obligations.
Discovery
Identified a fundamental gap: no single compliance management system brings fire safety, legionella, asbestos, EICR tracking, gas safety, EPC management, and property management together.
Design
Building Custodia from the ground up as an offline-first compliance platform — a Progressive Web App that works as a fire risk assessment app, legionella risk assessment app, and building inspection tool even without internet.
Early Access
Inviting property managers, landlords, managing agents, and compliance professionals to shape the compliance management software before public launch.
