About

PA SAFETY
AND BUILDING
CONSULTANCY LIMITED

PA Safety and Building Consultancy Limited is a long-established company specialising in the delivery of effective and sustainable solutions for the built environment.

Our services fall under CDM 2015 (Principal Designer, Principal Contractor and CDM Advisor) and Building Consultancy (Construction Management and Project Management), as standalone, combined or integrated solutions.

We are proud to be a Chartered Building Consultancy (CBC) with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB).

In line with our approach of ‘compliance without complication’ we are committed to providing a service with integrity, giving you that all-important peace of mind.

The company was founded in 2001 as P A Safety Management Limited and operated under that name for 21 years. The name change to PA Safety and Building Consultancy is an exciting new chapter in the company’s long history and encompasses our considerable experience in the built environment, allowing us to formally add Building Consultancy services to our list of expertise.

Partners in business and in life, Directors Paulo Anaia and Pina Broccoli Anaia share a common vision for PA Safety and Building Consultancy Limited and this is what drives them forward. They have a perfect marriage of skills, combining Paulo’s extensive knowledge of design, construction, safety and compliance with Pina’s systematic and methodical approach to organisation and management.

Our founder Paulo Anaia (also known as the man with the long list of acronyms after his name) is the ‘PA’ in PA Safety and Building Consultancy Limited. His intent has always been to build a business with integrity where clients could understand the value and see the benefits of having a professionally managed project that meets compliance. He believes construction isn’t just about building, it’s the process of delivering quality, safety and excellence throughout.

Paulo is a qualified CDM expert with nearly 30 years of experience specialising in the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations since they were first introduced in 1995. Throughout the various versions of the CDM Regulations (1994, 2007 and 2015), Paulo fulfilled the role of Planning Supervisor, CDM Co-ordinator and now Principal Designer for a wide range of commercial and residential new build and refurbishment projects.

He holds a BSc (Hons) in Design and Construction Management from University of Greenwich. His dissertation in 1995 on the delay in implementing the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations was one of the first to address this legislation.

Decades of continuing professional development have honed Paulo’s expertise in safety and construction, with a keen interest in low energy building and retrofit, including the Passivhaus and EnerPHit standards. Now with building consultancy services tapping into his creativity and taking him back to his first love of design and construction, he has come full circle whilst still maintaining his proficiency in the principles of CDM.

His professional affiliations include Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB), Chartered Member of the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (CMIOSH) and Certified Member of the Association for Project Safety (CMaPS).
