What is the Golden Thread of Information?
The Golden Thread of Information is a key requirement of the Building Safety Act and was introduced following Dame Judith Hackitt's review of building safety after the Grenfell Tower tragedy. It is a secure, accurate and up-to-date digital record of a building's design, construction, safety information and ongoing management throughout its lifecycle. The purpose of the Golden Thread is to ensure that the right people have access to the right information at the right time, improving accountability, supporting informed decision-making, and helping to keep buildings safe for those who live, work and visit them.
The Compliance Solution
Goldenthreads is a digital asset intelligence platform for the built environment, providing a secure and structured source of truth for building information throughout its lifecycle. From design and construction to occupation and ongoing management, it brings together compliance records, safety information, documents, inspections, BIM data, and operational intelligence into a single accessible platform, helping owners, dutyholders, and stakeholders maintain a complete and connected golden thread of information.
The Golden Thread Process
A seamless, 8-step journey to centralizing your building intelligence and ensuring full regulatory compliance.
01
Create Your Asset Portfolio
Add your buildings, projects, or infrastructure assets to the platform.
02
Upload Your Information
Store drawings, surveys, BIM models, compliance documents, certificates, inspections, and maintenance records in a structured digital environment.
03
Connect Reality Capture Data
Upload drone surveys, walkthrough videos, photographs, and site inspections to create a visual record of the asset.
04
Build the Golden Thread
All information is linked to the building, creating a complete, searchable history throughout its lifecycle.
05
Collaborate Securely
Stakeholders receive role-based access to the information relevant to their responsibilities.
06
Monitor Compliance & Risk
AI continuously reviews documents and asset data to identify gaps, risks, upcoming actions, and compliance requirements.
07
Access Asset Intelligence
View your buildings through an interactive map and dashboard, providing a single source of truth for asset information, operational insights, and lifecycle management.
08
Continuous Golden Thread
Finally, we maintain a connected 'Golden Thread' of information. This ensures that every change, repair, or refurbishment is recorded throughout the building lifecycle, for ultimate safety and value.
What makes Goldenthreads different?
Building Intelligence, Not Just Storage
Most golden thread platforms are digital filing cabinets. Goldenthreads transforms documents, inspections, BIM models, surveys, imagery, and operational data into a living intelligence platform, providing real-time insight into the condition, risk, and compliance status of an asset.
Geospatial Asset View
Rather than navigating folders and spreadsheets, users interact with their portfolio through a map-based interface. Buildings, documents, BIM models, inspections, risks, and operational data are visualised in their real-world location, creating a digital twin of the built environment.
AI-Powered Throughout the Lifecycle
Goldenthreads goes beyond compliance management. With AI it can analyse documents, identify missing information, surface risks, detect trends across portfolios, and provide actionable insights from design through decommissioning.
