Kevin Igwe

Kevin Igwe is a highly experienced Building Safety Consultant and Chief Executive of both Dubai Building Safety and  Building Safety Limited, with over 12 years of expertise in fire and structural safety across high-risk residential, commercial, and complex building environments. He holds the prestigious CIOB Level 6 Certificate in Building Safety Management, the NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health & Safety, the FDIS Fire Door Inspection Scheme Diploma, and the BRE Fire Stopping & Compartmentation Certificate.

Kevin has delivered safety leadership to high-profile clients including RSK, Firntech, FRC, Savills, Riverside Housing Group, Southern Housing Group, and international partners in West Africa.

His career spans leadership roles in engineering, manufacturing, building, and housing, where he became one of the pioneers in producing Safety Case reports for major organisations. At these companies, Kevin not only shaped safety governance frameworks but also trained thousands of employees to replicate good practice, embedding a culture of ownership and accountability throughout operations. He has implemented the “Golden Thread” of building information and embedded robust fire risk governance across the full building lifecycle—from design and construction through to occupation, refurbishment, and disposal.

Kevin’s expertise lies in translating global best practice into practical strategies that improve safety outcomes without creating unnecessary burdens. Combining deep technical knowledge with a results-driven, collaborative approach, he empowers developers, regulators, contractors, and consultants to embed transparency, resilience, and long-term safety into the built environment.
