Zutec’s Golden Thread CDE and work with asset owners recognised for digital data management and supporting Building Safety Act compliance
London – 12th November 2024: Zutec, a leading provider of construction and property management software in the UK and Ireland, is thrilled to announce that it has won the 2024 Judges Choice category at the Construction Computing Awards, for its Golden Thread CDE solutions.
In its eighteenth year, the Construction Computing Awards, also known as ‘The Hammers’, recognise, showcase and reward the technology, tools, and solutions used for effective design, construction, maintenance and modification of commercial, residential and social housing buildings, as well as civil engineering projects of all sizes. In 2023, Zutec’s Part L Photographic Evidence solution won the Construction Computing Innovation of the Year award.
Selected as a standout platform by the Construction Computing Award judges, Zutec’s Golden Thread CDE transforms the way asset owners capture, store, share, manage and retain vast amounts of information across the building lifecycle to deliver a golden thread of Information and ensure compliance with the Building Safety Act (BSA).
Under the BSA, a digital golden thread of information is now a mandatory requirement for all occupied higher-risk residential buildings (HRRBs), where it is critical to have a complete audit trail of data and documents across the life of an asset — from design and construction through to maintenance and operations. This enables asset owners to effectively maintain and operate a building safely and compliantly while controlling risk, ensuring vital information is available to the right people at the right time, including the Building Safety Regulator, emergency services, and residents.
Helping over 150 asset owner customers move away from fragmented and disparate systems for data management, Zutec’s Golden Thread CDE provides one platform, dashboard and a single source of truth. Within the Zutec platform, users can easily retrieve, update, and manage data, as well as quickly identify data and fill data gaps, so the latest, accurate key information is always available to key stakeholders. With an asset register for simplified building management, Zutec’s platform, structures data in templates, along with forms, checklists and workflows to streamline information capture. Its solutions address areas including:
- Digital Handover and Gateway 3 Management, where critical information is captured during construction to fulfil handover obligations to the asset owner while supporting the application and issuing a completion certificate. This data can be used to produce a building safety case, ready for building assessment certificate applications, all necessary for building occupation.
- High Risk Building Compliance, making it easy to standardise and structure existing HRRB information into one platform for easier access to critical building safety information.
- Fire Door Management, providing a systematic solution for risk assessment and mitigation, where inspections for fire door audits can be easily conducted, risks and hazards managed, and safety measures put in place.
“Winning the 2024 Judges Choice Award is huge recognition for the team here at Zutec that developed, launched and took our Golden Thread solutions to market. As part of our handover and asset management solutions families, we believe we have some of the best solutions in the market for managing building information throughout the building lifecycle to achieve a golden thread and compliance. We are proud of the work we are doing with asset owners to help them on their journey to creating and maintaining a digital golden thread.”
