Question 1

What is Golden Thread software?

Accepted Answer

Golden Thread software is a digital platform designed to help building owners and managers create, maintain, and share the building safety information required under the Building Safety Act 2022. It provides a structured, searchable repository for all safety-critical documents and data.

Question 2

Is Golden Thread software mandatory?

Accepted Answer

While the Act doesn't mandate specific software, it requires Golden Thread information to be stored digitally, accurately maintained, and readily accessible. Purpose-built software like Threadsovereign makes meeting these requirements significantly easier and more reliable than manual methods.

Question 3

What information must be included in the Golden Thread?

Accepted Answer

For occupied higher-risk buildings in England, the prescribed information and documents are set out in Schedule 1 to The Higher-Risk Buildings (Keeping and Provision of Information etc.) (England) Regulations 2024 (SI 2024/41) — themes include registration, KBI, BAC, fire and structural risk management, design/plans, MOR, engagement, complaints, and completion documents. See the full requirements guide at threadsovereign.co.uk/golden-thread. Threadsovereign provides structured indexing, gateway checklists, validators, and evidence packs so critical records are not missed.

Question 4

How does Threadsovereign ensure compliance?

Accepted Answer

Threadsovereign is built specifically for BSA 2022 compliance. It includes structured golden thread indexing, complete audit trails, version control, secure access controls, evidence packs, and branded PDF exports on Professional and Enterprise plans.

Question 5

Can I migrate existing documents into Threadsovereign?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Threadsovereign supports structured document upload with version control and golden thread indexing. Enterprise customers can arrange assisted onboarding with our team to plan folder structure and migration from existing file stores.

Question 6

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, 909, 315, 396, 906 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, and resident statutory paths). Tiers differ by portfolio capacity and operational tooling — not by withholding core compliance workflows.

Question 7

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 8

Can Threadsovereign export evidence for BSR inspections?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every plan includes a one-click BSR inspection evidence bundle — handover packages, golden thread records, gateway correspondence, and occupied-phase compliance evidence assembled for regulatory visits. Gateway exports are also blocked by an evidence readiness gate until mandatory items are linked.

Question 9

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, SMS/push, webhooks, DocuSign, calendar sync) and higher capacity. Occupied maintenance is the main occupied-phase feature gated to Professional and above.

Question 10

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.
