CLC issues new guidance on Golden Thread

Latest News Wed, Aug 28, 2024 10:54 AM

The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) is championing and supporting the delivery of safe and high-quality buildings for those who live and work in them.

The Building Safety workstream of the Construction Leadership Council have today published guidance on the golden thread of information requirements for higher-risk buildings.

This guidance will support dutyholders and accountable persons to deliver a golden thread for their building. This publication supports the huge amount of work happening across industry to deliver the higher-risk regime and to enable the delivery of robust information to support safer buildings.

The guidance has been developed by an industry working group with experience from across the sector in the design, construction and management of management of higher-risk buildings. The guidance sets out the golden thread information that dutyholders and accountable persons will need to generate, keep, maintain and handover during design, through construction, handover and completion of the building and into occupation.

The purpose of the golden thread of information is to give the right people the right information at the right time. It is the information that allows someone to understand a building and the steps needed to keep both the building and people safe, now and in the future.

The guidance makes clear that the golden thread should not be something new. At its heart, the golden thread is good information and good information management. Most importantly the golden thread is something that should be used. The people responsible for a higher-risk building (the dutyholders and accountable persons) should embrace the golden thread – as it is their information, for their use, to ensure their building is safe and to assure their residents that their building is safe.

The full Golden Thread Guidance is available here. A Summary of the guidance is also available, and can be downloaded here.

As the new regime develops, this guidance will almost certainly need to develop with it. The CLC would like to invite constructive feedback on this guidance to support this process.
