About us
Our mission is to create a safer, more informed world for those living in and responsible for multi-occupancy residential buildings. By providing a comprehensive and intuitive software platform, we ensure that the Golden Thread, safety case thinking and resident engagement remains at the heart of building safety.
Our Values
The name comes from the Chinese concept Ch’i or qi (氣), often described as energy or life force. For us, it’s a reminder that what we do isn’t just process-driven, it has real impact on real people. We use CHI as a way to stay grounded in how we work:
Not just as words, but in how we act, how we support people, and how we make decisions every day.
Commitment
Your problem is our problem, we won’t rest until it’s resolved
Humanity
People are at the heart of everything we do
Integrity
Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching
