Building Regulations Compliance

Demonstrate Golden Thread compliance without reorganising your entire archive. Screen, classify, and signpost existing documentation to meet Building Safety Act requirements.

The challenge

Can you prove Golden Thread compliance for your existing buildings?

The Building Safety Act 2022 requires operators of Higher-Risk Buildings to maintain a complete 'Golden Thread' of building information. But for existing assets, that information is scattered across decades of documentation - health and safety files, contracts, engineering specifications, O&M manuals - stored in legacy systems and rarely in the format regulators expect. Reorganising everything from scratch would be enormously disruptive and expensive.

How we solve it

Compliance through classification, not reconstruction

1

As-Built Documentation Screening

Ingest existing documentation from wherever it currently sits - legacy file shares, document management systems, archived project folders. Screen your entire back-catalogue systematically to understand what information you hold and where it resides.

2

Building-Level Classification

Classify documents according to the specific building or asset they relate to. Create clear associations between scattered files and individual HRBs, building the logical connections your Golden Thread requires without physically moving or duplicating files.

3

Regulatory Requirement Tagging

Tag documents against Building Safety Act information requirements. Map your existing records to the specific conditions and categories defined by the regulations - making it immediately clear what you have, what's compliant, and where gaps exist.

4

Information Signposting System

Generate a navigable index that demonstrates compliance to regulators without requiring wholesale information reorganisation. Provide clear pathways to required documentation that satisfy Golden Thread obligations while leaving your existing systems intact.

The impact

What this achieves

Golden Thread compliance doesn't have to mean rebuilding your information architecture from the ground up. With the right classification and signposting, you can demonstrate compliance using documentation you already hold - avoiding the disruption of mass reorganisation and the penalties of non-compliance. When buildings come up for major works or regulatory review, you're ready to respond promptly, safely, and with confidence.
