The golden thread, actually threaded

The Building Safety Act demands a continuous, auditable record — but the evidence lives in RFIs, inspection reports, site diaries and drawings nobody can search. Marella turns that pile into a cited, audit-ready record.

The problem, as your teams live it

01

The golden thread is a legal duty

Gateway 2 and the Building Safety Act expect a continuous evidence chain for higher-risk buildings — and the evidence is scattered across formats and firms.

02

Compliance loads keep growing

Agencies now carry AML and sanctions-screening duties with zero tolerance for missing documentation.

03

A hallucinated figure is a liability

An invented contract number or spec value isn't an inconvenience in this sector — it's exposure.

How Marella fits

01

Site records become searchable evidence

RFIs, inspection reports, site diaries and drawings ingested into one corpus — ask what happened and get the answer with the document cited.

02

Audit-ready by construction

Citations on every answer and decision traces on every AI action give you the provenance a building-safety audit expects.

03

Handles site-grade documents

Scans, photos of paperwork, handwritten notes and legacy formats — the ingestion pipeline was built for messy corpora.

04

Compliance files for agencies

AML checks, sanctions screening records and tenancy documents, retrievable in seconds with the source attached.

The question every safety case asks

'Show me the evidence for this decision.' With site records in Marella, the answer arrives with the RFI, the inspection report and the drawing revision cited — minutes, not a document hunt across contractors.

Fair questions

Does this satisfy the golden thread requirement by itself?

Marella makes your project documents searchable, cited and auditable — a strong evidential backbone. Your building-safety case and information-management plan remain yours; we work within them rather than replacing them.

Can it read drawings and scanned site paperwork?

The pipeline handles scanned and poor-quality documents, including image-heavy files. Bring your messiest project records to a demo — that's the honest test.

How does this help letting and estate agencies?

Compliance documentation — AML checks, sanctions screening, tenancy files — becomes retrievable with citations, scoped by role, with security events logged. Evidence on demand rather than filing-cabinet archaeology.
