The Golden Thread: How it Impacts the Specification Journey

Description

This CPD presentation "The Golden Thread. How it impacts the specification journey" highlights the significance of the Golden Thread concept in the construction industry. The Golden Thread ensures a comprehensive, digital record of building information accessible to all stakeholders, enhancing safety, accountability, and quality throughout a building's life cycle. Introduced in response to the Grenfell Tower fire, this approach aims to rectify systemic failures in building management by mandating transparent information sharing and regulatory compliance from initial design phases through to the maintenance of the building.

The presentation highlights this, as well as the importance for industry professionals to adopt this paradigm with the aim of preventing future tragedies, as well as maintaining better-quality buildings for the individuals who frequent them.

- Understand the impact of the Golden Thread on key stakeholders throughout the building's lifecycle, from the initial design phase through to the maintenance phase.
