For a higher-risk building in England, the golden thread is the digital record that shows the building is safe and well managed. We check what you hold, fill the gaps, give it a clear structure and keep it up to date after every test and visit.
Four tests your golden thread has to pass.
Under the Building Safety Act 2022, the Accountable Person for an occupied higher-risk building in England keeps the golden thread: the information needed to show the building meets building regulations and to manage the risks of fire spread and structural failure. Where there is more than one Accountable Person, the Principal Accountable Person takes the lead.
Kept digitally and securely
The information is held in digital form and kept secure. It can sit across more than one system, as long as it works as one.
One source of truth
Accurate and up to date, so the people who manage, maintain and inspect the building all work from the same information.
Available when needed
Easy to find and use for the people who need it for their work, including contractors, residents and emergency responders.
From design to occupation
Started before building work begins, kept up to date through construction and handed over on completion. For existing buildings, reasonable enquiries must be made to find what is missing.

A higher-risk building is at least 18 metres or 7 storeys tall and has at least two residential units.
From scattered files to a golden thread you can show.
