About Custodia

Making property compliance achievable

Custodia was born from a simple observation: property managers shouldn’t need five different systems to keep buildings safe and compliant. We’re building the 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 manager — from individual landlords to large managing agents — with intuitive, affordable tools that make H&S compliance straightforward and property management effortless.

The challenges building owners face every day

Compliance complexity is overwhelming

Fire risk assessments, legionella monitoring, asbestos surveys, gas safety certificates, electrical inspections — each with different expiry dates, regulatory requirements, and documentation needs. Managing all of this across multiple properties using spreadsheets is a compliance failure waiting to happen.

Disconnected systems create dangerous gaps

Most property managers use one tool for finances, another for maintenance, a separate system for H&S tracking, and paper files for certificates. When systems don’t talk to each other, things fall through the cracks — and in compliance, gaps can mean fines, prosecution, or worse.

On-site work is still analogue

Building inspections happen in places with poor or no connectivity — basements, plant rooms, older buildings. Property managers still carry clipboards, take handwritten notes, and re-enter everything later. It wastes time and introduces errors.

The Building Safety Act has raised the stakes

Golden Thread requirements demand a complete digital audit trail for every building. Most existing tools weren’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.
