An independent, regulator-ready review that tests the strength of your Golden Thread by confirming your digital building information is accurate, traceable, and aligned with the as-built environment. We verify that maintenance responsibilities, access arrangements, inspections, and recorded changes support compliance, accountability, and safe long-term building operation.
We independently audit your building’s digital information to ensure it is accurate, secure, and resilient against both operational failures and emerging cyber threats. Our review confirms that maintenance data is complete, access systems reflect what has actually been installed, and inspection regimes are properly defined and defensible. We also assess whether connected building systems could be vulnerable to interference, manipulation, or unauthorised access that might disrupt safe operation. Most importantly, we identify compliance and security gaps early – helping you reduce risk, protect occupants, avoid costly remediation, and demonstrate that your building is robust, compliant, and prepared for modern operational challenges.
Our Gateway 2 & 3 Specialist Support helps design teams submit with confidence and avoid costly delays. We work alongside architects and developers to review access strategies before submission, prepare clear maintainability statements, and challenge design risk early through focused workshops. We also support temporary access planning, ensuring construction and future maintenance risks are properly considered, documented, and defensible. The result is clearer submissions, reduced regulator challenge, and smoother progression through the Gateway process.
