Question 1

How is Threadsovereign different from document management or project software?

Accepted Answer

Most tools stop at files or tasks. Adjacent CDE and project platforms (such as Procore, Asite, or Zutec) operate at document management or construction PM layer — they do not cover Gateway 1–3 statutory workflows, occupied Accountable Person duties, resident safety concern channels (s.91B), BSR compliance notice tracking, or BSA evidence packs in one lifecycle. Threadsovereign is BSA 2022 compliance infrastructure for England HRBs: Principal Designer gateways and golden thread, formal handover (s.76), occupied duties (safety case, 16 KBI categories, occurrences, resident rights, FRA/PEEP, Part 5), and readiness tools — per-building scorecard, multi-HRB portfolio, statutory deadlines with ICS, and portal-day evidence packs — so APs, BSMs, and PDs can see gaps before a BSR visit. Statutory workflows are on every paid plan. Threadsovereign complements your CDE; duty-holders prepare and evidence work in-platform and file officially on the BSR portal.

Question 2

Does Threadsovereign cover the Building Safety Act and regulations introduced after 2022?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Threadsovereign implements the Building Safety Act 2022 and the England HRB regulations that bring Parts 3 and 4 into force — including SI 2023/907 (safety case, MOR reg.6, complaints), 909, 315, 396 and SI 2024/41. Every paid plan includes the statutory floor (Gateway 1–3, golden thread, BSR registration, 16 KBI categories, safety case with 10 risk management principles, occurrence reporting under BSA s.87 / SI 2023/907 reg.6, and resident statutory paths). Tiers differ by portfolio capacity and operational tooling — not by withholding core compliance workflows.

Question 3

Which jurisdiction does Threadsovereign cover?

Accepted Answer

The Building Safety Act 2022 higher-risk building regime — Gateway 1–3, golden thread, Accountable Person duties, safety case, and KBI — applies in England only. Threadsovereign implements that England HRB regime and its implementing regulations (SI 2023/907, 909, 315, 396 and SI 2024/41), including Part 5 leaseholder protections for relevant buildings. The platform also supports CDM 2015 / BRAE 2023 and FSER 2022 fire safety workflows, which apply across Great Britain. Wales higher-risk building legislation is not in scope today. Some emerging instruments (for example SI 2024/110 RBCA workflows) are partially supported via manual HSE portal reference capture rather than full in-product RBCA filing. Emerging obligations are tracked in the compliance horizon register (Professional+ read, Enterprise write).

Question 4

How many Key Building Information (KBI) categories are required?

Accepted Answer

SI 2023/396 prescribes 16 categories of Key Building Information (regs 3–18): ancillary building; principal use; subordinate use; change to principal use; Approved Document B use categories; external wall materials; external wall insulation; roof; fixtures on external wall or roof; structure; storeys below ground; staircases; energy supply; energy storage; evacuation strategy; and fire and smoke control equipment. Threadsovereign tracks all 16 with completion indicators, deadline tracking, and structured export packages ready for BSR portal submission within the 28-day registration window. Full table: threadsovereign.co.uk/key-building-information.

Question 5

What are the 10 risk management principles in the safety case?

Accepted Answer

Under SI 2023/907 reg.4(1)(a)–(j), the Accountable Person must: (a) identify hazards; (b) evaluate risks; (c) implement measures; (d) monitor effectiveness; (e) record assessments; (f) review periodically; (g) consult residents; (h) consider vulnerable persons; (i) coordinate with other Accountable Persons; and (j) have emergency procedures in place. These are separate from the 16 KBI categories. Threadsovereign provides individual attestation for each principle before BSR submission. Full guide: threadsovereign.co.uk/safety-case-report.

Question 6

Is Threadsovereign suitable for all building types?

Accepted Answer

Threadsovereign is built for higher-risk buildings (18m+ or 7+ storeys with at least 2 residential units) and the BSA Part 3–4 regime. Gateway, golden thread, and duty-holder workflows also support design-phase compliance on HRB projects.

Question 7

How does Threadsovereign help with regulation changes?

Accepted Answer

Threadsovereign maintains a Compliance CMS with monitored regulatory sources and a compliance horizon register for emerging obligations. Professional plans include read access to versioned checklists and guidance; Enterprise adds CMS editing. Gateway checklists, KBI fields, and golden thread workflows are updated as BSR guidance evolves — your tier determines capacity and advanced tooling, not access to core statutory workflows.

Question 8

Can I use Threadsovereign for multiple buildings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Starter includes 3 live projects, 3 buildings, and 3 team members — with the full BSA statutory floor (Gateway 1–3, golden thread, BSR registration, 16 KBI categories, occupied statutory paths, and resident engagement). Professional scales to 15 projects, 15 buildings, and 15 users. Enterprise offers unlimited projects, buildings, and users.

Question 9

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Threadsovereign offers Starter (£199/month or £166/month billed annually), Professional (£549/month or £457/month billed annually), and Enterprise (£1,495/month or £1,245/month billed annually). Every paid plan includes statutory BSA workflows; tiers differ by capacity, analytics, integrations, and enterprise controls — not by withholding core gateway or golden thread compliance.

Question 10

Does Threadsovereign cover FRA, fire doors, EEIS and PEEPs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Occupied HRB workflows support fire risk assessment lifecycle tracking, Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 door inspection cadences, Emergency Evacuation Information Sharing (EEIS), and Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) with review dates and golden-thread linkage — so fire actions stay visible beside the safety case. See threadsovereign.co.uk/hrb-compliance-software and threadsovereign.co.uk/accountable-person-software. Background: threadsovereign.co.uk/fire-safety-hrb.

Question 11

Does Threadsovereign support Part 5 leaseholder protections and remediation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For relevant buildings (11–18m / 5–6 storeys), Threadsovereign provides qualifying lease registers with Schedule 8 cap calculation, relevant defects logs, remediation order tracking, and RICS Landlord's Certificate workflows — alongside the full Part 4 HRB occupied-phase regime. See threadsovereign.co.uk/accountable-person-software. Background: threadsovereign.co.uk/part-5-remediation.

Question 12

Does Threadsovereign support CDM 2015 and non-HRB projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The PD portal includes CDM client duty records, construction phase plan management, HSE F10 notification tracking, Pre-Construction Information pack distribution, and a construction products register (including UKCA/UKNI declaration tracking under the Construction Products Amendment Regulations 2025) — supporting BRAE 2023 duties on all construction projects, not only higher-risk buildings. The register links products to golden thread evidence; it does not verify certifications against official UKCA databases.

Question 13

How do Gateway and BSR submissions work in Threadsovereign?

Accepted Answer

Threadsovereign is built to prepare and evidence submissions to the BSR portal. It validates structured data against checklist requirements, provides a portal-day pack (GOV.UK building-control links, checklist status, correspondence, attestation register, HSE reference reminder), records local submission trace references for your audit trail, and captures manual HSE portal references after you file officially. Enterprise organisations can optionally enable a live HTTP BSR connector when customer middleware and platform credentials are configured — HSE does not publish a public duty-holder REST API, so official filing remains on GOV.UK. The platform does not replace the BSR or GOV.UK portals and never auto-files gateways, KBI, or occurrences to HSE.

Question 14

Is Threadsovereign built to submit to the BSR portal?

Accepted Answer

Threadsovereign prepares, evidences, and tracks work you still file on the official Building Safety Regulator and GOV.UK portals. Duty-holders remain responsible for official submission. The platform keeps correspondence, portal references, readiness scorecards, and an auditable golden thread so what you submit is complete and defensible — it is not a substitute for the regulator’s portal.

Question 15

Are statutory BSA workflows paywalled behind higher tiers?

Accepted Answer

No. Core statutory workflows — gateways, golden thread, BSR registration, KBI, safety case, occurrence reporting, resident information rights, complaints, engagement, and BSA readiness tools (scorecard, portfolio, deadlines, evidence packs, portal-day pack) — are available on every paid plan. Professional and Enterprise add operational tooling (maintenance CMMS, analytics, advisory PDF pre-fill, advisory drafting, natural-language search, SMS/push, webhooks, DocuSign, calendar sync) and higher capacity. Occupied maintenance is the main occupied-phase feature gated to Professional and above.

Question 16

How does Threadsovereign handle Schedule 3 resident document requests?

Accepted Answer

Under SI 2024/41, residents can request Schedule 3 documents (including safety case summaries and fire risk assessments) through the resident portal. Accountable Persons fulfil or refuse requests with linked documents and notes. The AP dashboard tracks open information requests against a 20 UK working-day SLA target — separate from the platform policy complaint SLA under SI 2023/907 reg.12 (reg.12 does not fix a national 10 working-day response clock). Residents see fulfilment status and can download shared documents when requests are completed.

Question 17

How does Threadsovereign support resident engagement effectiveness (reg.10)?

Accepted Answer

SI 2023/907 reg.10 requires Accountable Persons to maintain an engagement strategy and demonstrate effectiveness. Threadsovereign provides an engagement effectiveness dashboard: strategy status, 21-day consultation tracking, engagement points recorded in the last 90 days, and open resident information requests — included on every paid plan alongside the BSA readiness scorecard. The dashboard helps evidence reg.10 activity; it does not judge whether your strategy is legally adequate.

Question 18

Can one organisation manage multiple HRBs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Occupied-phase screens support multi-HRB portfolios with an explicit building selector (buildingId). Data is scoped to buildings that belong to your organisation and are marked as higher-risk buildings — duty-holders never rely on an unvalidated building identifier.

Question 19

Does Threadsovereign use AI for compliance?

Accepted Answer

Professional and Enterprise include advisory tools only: PDF pre-fill of draft form fields (you verify every value); a document completeness scan that flags whether expected sections are present against human-written BSA validators; advisory drafting starting text; and natural-language search that maps queries to existing filters. FRA document completeness scanning is not enabled pending legal review. None of these tools assess legal adequacy, know the law, or replace professional judgement. Customer compliance data is never used to train third-party models, and nothing is auto-submitted to the BSR.

Question 20

Where can I find user manuals and product help?

Accepted Answer

The full start-to-finish user manual is on this website at threadsovereign.co.uk/help/manual — covering Principal Designer workflows, gateways, handover, occupied-phase duties, resident rights, client and contractor portals, admin, and troubleshooting, with links to legislation.gov.uk and GOV.UK. App screen paths are listed for use after you sign in at threadsovereign.io. This FAQ covers pre-sales questions; contact support@threadsovereign.co.uk for product support.
