Webinar: Unravelling the ‘golden thread’ – Navigating information exchange in the construction supply chain

30 Aug 2023 By

The 2022 Building Safety Act introduced the concept of the ‘golden thread’. Owners and managers of buildings are required to hold a comprehensive set of information showing how a building was designed and built. The aim is simple – to reduce the severity of the consequences of fire spread or structural collapse.

This ‘golden thread’ of information must be provided and stored digitally. This means that construction firms face a new challenge – ensuring that all relevant information on their work is passed to their client in a form that they can use.

Construction News and Quickbase presented this webinar on Thursday 28 September 2023 to discuss the implications of the 'golden thread' for the construction industry.
