NATIONAL BUILDING REGISTER
What is the National Building Register?
The National Building Register (NBR) is a live, managed digital portal for property information.
It provides a structured, governed environment for the capture, organisation, maintenance and controlled access of building information across the full asset lifecycle, supported by dedicated human account management.
NBR is not a document storage system. It is an actively managed information environment, ensuring records remain accurate, relevant and usable over time.
While it supports Building Safety Act compliance, its application extends across all buildings, ensuring information is structured, maintained and accessible as a long-term asset.
A Clear, Complete System for Property Information
NBR ensures that property information is clear, accessible and accountable across the full lifecycle of a building.
Golden Thread records, Safety Case evidence, inspection data, maintenance logs and operational activity are structured, maintained and available when required.
Whether you are a Principal Accountable Person, Accountable Person, managing agent, facilities team or Principal Contractor, NBR supports defined responsibility and traceable records across all building types.
Foundations of Building Information Compliance
Building safety is supported by a number of key information concepts. Understanding these clearly is essential to maintaining compliance and accountability.
These concepts form part of a wider system of building information management and governance.
Golden Thread
The Golden Thread is a structured, up-to-date record of building information that shows how a building is designed, constructed and managed safely.
It is not a single document, but a connected set of information including design intent, fire strategy, maintenance records and Safety Case evidence.
Its value lies in being maintained, reliable and clearly understood over time, not simply collected.
Safety Case
A Safety Case is a structured body of evidence that demonstrates how building safety risks are identified, assessed and controlled.
It brings together information on fire and structural risks, supported by inspection records, risk assessments and ongoing management activity.
Its purpose is to show, clearly and continuously, that a building is being managed safely.
Mandatory Occurrence Reporting
Mandatory Occurrence Reporting (MOR) is the process of identifying and reporting building safety issues that could indicate a serious risk to how a building keeps people safe.
It focuses on fire and structural safety risks, particularly where an issue suggests a failure in design, construction or ongoing management.
Its purpose is to ensure that risks are recognised, recorded and addressed before they escalate.
