Johnny Furlong offers an update on the golden thread and provides a warning about those claiming to offer ‘approved’ solutions to help with safety regulations.
The Golden Thread Initiative (GTI) is making good progress towards being able to publish our report. I am proud of my involvement in the GTI’s evolving work and the support from L&Q in providing my team the resources to support this important work.
It has taken us longer to reach this stage than planned, in part due to the scope of the GTI expanding beyond what was originally envisaged. Since its conception in December 2020, more than 60 organisations have joined to help us pilot ways that organisations can produce a standardised digital golden thread for both existing buildings and new builds. Working with so many incredible organisations and people, we have come a long way in our understanding of the golden thread.
The GTI could not have happened without the many organisations volunteering their time and effort and I am extremely grateful to them. Our findings will be considered by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and the Building Regulations Advisory Committee (BRAC) Golden Thread working group and will support the development of government’s golden thread policy. We welcome the fact that government is listening to industry’s views and our report will be freely available when published.
