The Digital Golden Thread: what it means for the UK construction industry

Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, Dame Judith Hackitt called for a ‘golden thread of information’ to be maintained throughout the lifetime of a building.

To this end BS 8644-1: Digital management of fire safety information. Part 1: Design, construction, handover, asset management and emergency response – Code of practice has recently been released for consultation.

What impact will this new guidance have on the construction industry in the UK and how will those involved in the design and construction of buildings need to prepare?

Join our Director of Fire Safety, Chris Chennell at 10am on 4th November, for a webinar where he’ll discuss what the new guidance means for new construction projects and provide advice on how best to prepare for the new approach.

Your Speaker

Chris is developing the Golden Thread service offering for the practice, as well as supporting the delivery of Façade Remediation work nationally. Chris will also be supporting the delivery of international projects alongside key collaborators.
