Higher-risk buildings in design and construction Golden thread of information
The Act includes provisions to require the creation and maintenance of a golden thread of information. The intention is to ensure that the right people have the right information at the right time to ensure buildings are safe, and building safety risks are managed throughout the building’s lifecycle.
	This information will ensure that the original design intent and any subsequent changes to the building are captured, preserved and used to support safety improvements.
	For new builds, the dutyholders must start to collect this information during the design and construction process. Once construction is complete, the information must be handed over to the new building owner. This information will be managed by the Accountable Person during occupation.
