CONSTRUCTION INTELLIGENCE / GOLDEN THREAD

A Golden Thread Record That Builds Itself

Send us your project documentation. Mirage builds and maintains the continuous digital record the Building Safety Act requires, every entry traced to its source, ready for a Gateway review at any point.

Would be Mirage's first UK golden-thread deployment, built on the same document-traceability discipline already running at OCBM and a US rail contractor.

THE REALITY

A golden thread record assembled by hand from scattered folders and email threads is exactly the kind of record the Building Safety Act was written to prevent. By the time a Gateway submission or a regulator request forces the question, the gaps are already there, and they surface at the worst possible moment.

The same traceability discipline extends to NEC4 contract administration, NRM quantity surveying, and CDM compliance — the same underlying record, applied to the other UK-specific requirements a project already has to meet.

WHAT MIRAGE DOES

From scattered documentation to a maintained golden thread

01

Indexes your project documentation continuously

Design information, construction records, safety cases, and change history are indexed as they're produced, not reconstructed after the fact, building the record the Act requires as the project actually happens.

02

Traces every change back to its source

Every design decision, approval, and modification is linked to the document and date it came from, so the chain of information the Act calls for is retrievable at any point, not assembled under deadline.

03

Flags gaps before a Gateway review does

Missing approvals and information that doesn't reconcile between design and as-built records are surfaced as they occur, connecting to the document management and BIM tools already on the project.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The Building Safety Act requires a continuous, accurate digital record of information about a higher-risk building, from design through construction and into occupation, so the right people can access the right information at the right time. It's a record-keeping and traceability requirement, not a single document.

Higher-risk buildings under the Act, generally residential buildings at least 18 metres or 7 storeys tall. Mirage builds the golden thread record from whatever documents your project already produces, regardless of which specific threshold applies to you.

No. Those are named legal roles under the Act with responsibilities Mirage doesn't take on. What Mirage does is build and maintain the underlying record those roles depend on, so the information is complete and traceable when it's needed, rather than being a manual assembly job under deadline.

Every document, decision, and change already indexed is retrievable with its full history, so assembling the golden thread evidence for a Gateway submission or a Building Safety Regulator request pulls from a maintained record instead of being rebuilt from scratch each time.

Yes. Missing approvals, undocumented design changes, and information that doesn't reconcile between design and as-built records are surfaced as they occur, not discovered during a review.

Yes. It connects to the document management, BIM, and common data environment tools already in place on the project. No new system for design and site teams to learn.

This would be Mirage's first UK golden-thread deployment, delivered remotely against your existing document management and BIM tools, the same delivery model already running with clients in France, Spain, Morocco, and the US. No site presence is required to build or maintain the record.

Under four weeks on average to a production deployment: indexing your existing project documentation first, then a parallel pilot on one active project before full rollout.

Pricing starts with a fixed-price pilot on one active project, so you see the golden thread record built from your own documents before committing to anything larger. After that, it moves to an annual subscription priced by volume, quoted in your first conversation with us.
