The Building Safety Act was passed as a law in April 2022. One of the key requirements of this bill is the Golden Thread information which has been divided into three transition points or gateways.
Gateway one was implemented in August 2021. It ensures  fire safety is a consideration at the design stage and requires a developer to submit a fire statement in order to get planning permission.
At gateway two, building control approval must be obtained from the Building Safety Regulator before building work starts. Applicants will have to demonstrate how they will comply with the golden thread requirement.
Gateway three will occur at completion/final certification when all relevant documents and information will be handed over to the building owner. Construction takes place between gateways two and three. Gateways two and three for new builds are expected to come into force in October 2023.
A Golden Thread of relevant information must be implemented between gateways two and three and maintained thereafter.
