Golden Thread Software for Safer Buildings

Jun 20, 2025

By Dylan

At MosaicGT, we know how hard it can be to manage building safety in today’s world. Since the introduction of the Building Safety Act and new government rules, it’s more important than ever to have clear, accurate, and easy-to-access records. Our golden thread software is built to help. It gives you the tools to collect, organise, and share vital safety information throughout your building’s life — from the design stage to everyday use.

With MosaicGT, all your building information is stored in one place, kept safe, and available whenever you need it. We help you meet the law, reduce risk, and make life easier for everyone involved — from building owners and managers to residents and inspectors.

This isn’t just about meeting rules — it’s about changing how we approach building safety. At MosaicGT, we make that shift easier with reliable and simple-to-use tools.

What Is the Golden Thread of Information?

The golden thread is a clear and secure record of the key information that helps keep a building safe. This information must be up-to-date and easy to understand. It must also be available to the right people at the right time.

The goal is to create a single source of truth — a trusted digital record that follows the building from start to finish. This includes design plans, fire safety measures, inspection records, and more.

The Building Safety Act 2022 makes it a legal requirement to manage this information for high-rise buildings and other higher-risk properties. If you don’t have the right systems in place, you could face delays, extra costs, or fail to meet compliance — putting residents and your business at risk.

Why Golden Thread Software Matters

Before tools like MosaicGT, building data was often spread out — in emails, on paper, or in different computer systems. This made it easy for things to be lost, forgotten, or out of date. That’s a major risk when dealing with building safety.

Mistakes or missing details can lead to serious problems. At worst, they can result in unsafe living spaces or legal issues. MosaicGT’s building compliance software solves this by keeping all your building information in one secure, organised system.

With our software, you can stop worrying about lost records or last-minute panic before inspections. Everything is where it should be, easy to find, and easy to manage.

Built for the Building Safety Act

The Building Safety Act introduced new steps for how buildings must be designed, built and managed. Our platform helps you through each of these steps, known as Gateways:

  1. Gateway One – Before planning permission: Set out early design details, fire safety plans, and consultations.
  2. Gateway Two – Before construction starts: Record approved designs and check that all safety risks are covered.
  3. Gateway Three – Before residents move in: Confirm that all documents are complete, checked, and shared with those in charge.

Our Golden Thread software makes sure that every document is uploaded at the right time and kept in the correct format. You’ll have full records ready for review at each stage, helping you stay compliant and move forward without delay.

Features That Make MosaicGT Stand Out

We built MosaicGT with real users in mind — people who work with buildings every day and need tools that make their jobs easier. Here’s how our software helps you stay on top of your building safety responsibilities.

Gateway Support Made Simple

We guide you through the three Gateway steps so that your safety documentation is always in order. You’ll get reminders, upload tools, and checklists to make sure nothing gets missed.

Communicate with Residents

Our built-in resident app helps landlords and building managers keep occupants informed. Whether it’s a fire escape plan, maintenance update, or safety alert, you can share important updates directly with residents through the app.

This builds trust and shows you take building safety seriously.

Work Together with Stakeholders

Invite your team, consultants, or contractors into the system. Each person can see or edit the documents they need — no more email chains or confusion about who has the latest version.

Secure Digital Record-Keeping

All your documents are stored securely in UK-based data centres. Whether it’s a fire risk assessment or building certificate, you’ll know exactly where it is and that it’s safe.

See Everything in One Place

Our dashboard gives you a clear view of your entire property portfolio. You can check the status of each building, track what’s missing, and plan your next steps with ease.

Full Audit Trail for Compliance

Every action is logged. From uploads to edits, you can track who did what and when. If the Building Safety Regulator asks for proof, you’ll have everything ready in just a few clicks.

For Dutyholders and Accountable Persons

MosaicGT gives you control over your building information. You can stay ahead of deadlines, avoid missing documents, and show regulators that you’re fully compliant.

For Developers and Contractors

Start strong by using the software from the design stage. Keep all safety records in one place and avoid delays later. Hand over clean, complete documents to the building manager without hassle.

For Building Owners and Managers

Track inspections, store safety documents, and plan future work — all in one place. Owners benefit from having a full digital record of their building, which helps with planning, maintenance and insurance.

For Residents

Our resident app gives occupants access to key safety details. From fire escape routes to who to call in an emergency, residents can quickly find the information they need.

Making the Golden Thread Work in Practice

A golden thread isn’t just about keeping files — it’s about linking every piece of data to the building it belongs to. With MosaicGT, you can:

  • Add floorplans and 360° photos to map your building visually
  • Tag each room with the safety details and certificates that apply to it
  • Store documents alongside those assets for quick access
  • Connect everything into one clear digital record-keeping system

This creates a full picture of your property — a digital twin that’s always up-to-date and easy to understand.

Easy Integration and Open Standards

MosaicGT fits into your current systems without needing major changes. We support BIM data, IFC, COBie, PDFs, and more. You can import and export files without losing structure or quality.

Our platform also connects with other software like helpdesks, maintenance systems, and inspection tools. This makes sure your building compliance software works as part of a bigger picture, not in isolation.

Why Choose MosaicGT?

Other platforms talk about golden thread management, and we deliver it. MosaicGT offers:

  • A tool that’s built for digital record-keeping from the start
  • Resident-focused features that support clear communication

We keep our platform current with the latest rules and standards. You’ll get new features, security updates, and support as the industry evolves. That way, your business stays ahead — and your buildings stay safe.
