The Building Regulations
have changed
It takes just one oversight
to keep you awake at night
It's not just a fine anymore
Buildings are a continuous living record
Today: Golden Thread is mandatory only for HRBs; for all other buildings it remains best practice
Tomorrow: Government policy signals a gradual extension of duty-holder and record-keeping requirements to all building work, so expect the Golden Thread to become a de jure standard in the coming years.
Planned Maintenance is only half the story
Being prepared isn’t just about scheduling servicing or replacing parts, it’s about proving that you’ve done it. If your property asset records are incomplete, disorganised or missing entirely, even routine works can spiral into delays, disputes, or liability. Regulators may not be enforcing yet, but they will, and once the spotlight’s on, the cost of poor documentation isn't just financial, it's judicial. A modest investment to get your records in order now could save you tens of thousands later in remediation, legal action, or reputational damage.
Don’t wait for enforcement to become your problem
