BSA 2022 regulatory coverage, in detail

Detailed answers on exactly what Threadsovereign does and doesn't do under Part 5, FRA/PEEPs, CDM, KBI, safety case principles, BSR submission, AI-advisory limits, and England/Wales scope — moved here from pricing to keep plan comparisons focused on plans.

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 plan includes the statutory floor for the buildings it can hold (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 on HRB-capable plans). Small Buildings cannot hold a higher-risk building. Tiers differ by portfolio capacity and operational tooling — not by withholding core compliance workflows.

No. Core statutory workflows — gateways, golden thread, BSR registration, KBI, safety case, occurrence reporting, resident information rights, complaints, engagement, and BSA readiness tools — are available on every plan for the buildings that plan can hold. 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 scheduling is the main occupied-phase feature gated to Professional and above.

Every plan includes BSA readiness tools for the buildings it can hold: a per-building compliance scorecard (incomplete and overdue items across KBI, safety case, occurrences, FRA, fire doors, PEEPs, engagement, complaints, info requests, registration changes, and BAC), a multi-building portfolio ranked by readiness, a statutory deadline calendar with ICS download, evidence packs (AP inspection, resident rights under SI 2024/41, Schedule 8 / Part 5, cryptographic inspection bundle), and a Gateway portal-day pack (GOV.UK building-control links, checklist status, correspondence, attestation register, BSR reference reminder). Threadsovereign prepares and evidences work you still file on the official BSR portal — it does not replace GOV.UK or auto-file to BSR.

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 BSR portal reference capture rather than full in-product RBCA filing. Emerging obligations are tracked in the compliance horizon register (Professional+ read, Enterprise write).

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.

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.

Yes. Occupied workflows track the fire risk assessment lifecycle and Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 door inspection cadences. Evacuation records follow SI 2025/797 (in force 6 April 2026): the statute uses person-centred fire risk assessment, emergency evacuation statement, and building emergency evacuation plan. The product still labels the registers EEIS and PEEP. Scope is a specified residential building, which is not identical to a Building Safety Act higher-risk building. See threadsovereign.co.uk/fire-safety-hrb.

Yes. For relevant buildings (at least two dwellings and at least 11 metres or five storeys), Threadsovereign provides qualifying-lease registers with Schedule 8 cap calculation, relevant-defect logs, remediation-order tracking, and landlord's certificate workflows, alongside Part 4 for buildings the plan can hold. The Building Safety (Remediation of Unsafe Cladding etc) Bill passed second reading on 27 October 2026 and is not law. Schedule 8 caps are unchanged. See threadsovereign.co.uk/part-5-remediation.

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.

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, BSR reference reminder), records local submission trace references for your audit trail, and captures manual BSR portal references after you file officially. Enterprise organisations can optionally enable a live HTTP BSR connector when customer middleware and platform credentials are configured — BSR 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 BSR.

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.

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.

SI 2023/907 reg.12 requires a complaints system with acknowledgement as soon as reasonably practicable, timely handling, published timeframes, and a reconsideration route — it does not fix a national 10 working-day response clock. Threadsovereign implements a platform policy SLA of acknowledgement plus substantive response within 10 UK working days (excluding weekends and England & Wales bank holidays), with SLA reminders for duty-holders. Residents can also request reconsideration; the platform tracks a 15 working-day reconsideration response window under the same policy.

Client users see only documents shared to their organisation on projects they belong to — with opt-in visibility on upload and bulk ZIP export for approvals packs. Residents access a building-scoped document library tied to their registered HRB, alongside Schedule 2/3 information rights and statutory request channels. This keeps collaboration portals aligned to duty-holder boundaries across multi-building portfolios.

Each organisation operates in a tenant-isolated environment with row-level security. Duty-holder and Accountable Person data serves the operator view for that organisation only. Any regulator-facing engagement would be governed by explicit contractual terms and disclosed to users — tenant data is never shared without authorisation.

Yes. Threadsovereign is built for housing associations, local authorities, registered providers, and ALBs managing HRB portfolios. Enterprise includes 40 HRBs, then graduated per-HRB pricing with no fixed ceiling on general building capacity, plus SSO/SAML/OIDC with SCIM directory sync, multi-organisation hierarchy with consolidated billing and portfolio analytics, and custom roles. A contractual response time applies only where written into an Enterprise Order Form (see threadsovereign.co.uk/legal/sla). Threadsovereign Ltd is ICO registered (ZC132889) with primary UK hosting. A Data Protection Impact Assessment has been completed and DPO-reviewed; formal execution is pending. Cyber Essentials (basic) readiness pack is prepared for IASME submission but not yet certified; Cyber Essentials Plus, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 remain roadmap items. See threadsovereign.co.uk/trust for the full assurance programme. Contact sales@threadsovereign.co.uk for procurement packs.

Professional and Enterprise plans include advisory PDF pre-fill. Upload a planning pack, SMS policy, engagement strategy, or FRA PDF; the platform extracts draft fields for KBI (SI 2023/396), safety-case SMS (SI 2023/907 reg.5), engagement strategy (reg.10), and FRA (s.156 / FSO). Every field is applied as a draft for you to review — validators only check presence of fields; the model never decides legal adequacy and never auto-submits to the BSR. Starter includes all forms and validators without extraction. Completeness scanning of PDFs/DOCX against human-written BSA validators is also available on Professional+; FRA completeness scanning specifically is on our roadmap and not yet enabled.

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 specifically is on our roadmap and not yet enabled. 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.

Enterprise includes 40 HRBs, then graduated per-HRB pricing (£25/month 41–150, £18/month 151–500) with no fixed ceiling on general building capacity; scoped API keys with rotation, expiry, usage logging, and OpenAPI 3.1 reference; SSO/SAML/OIDC with SCIM 2.0 directory sync; white-labelled login and custom domain; multi-organisation hierarchy with consolidated billing, cross-org portfolio analytics, and hierarchy audit CSV export; legal hold and a retention dashboard; Autodesk APS (Revit / AutoCAD / ACC) OAuth pilot with browse, selective import (including DWG/DXF), project mapping, and version-aware re-sync (duty-holders choose what enters the golden thread; no in-product model Viewer yet); Asite and Procore via Enterprise support-led CDE onboarding requests (no live in-product OAuth today); custom roles with portal scopes; compliance CMS editing; and full organisation data export for DSAR and off-boarding.
