Trellum · Practice · Residential block management
BSA golden thread — built for the moment someone asks to see it.
The Building Safety Act introduced a statutory duty-holder regime over higher-risk residential blocks. Managing agents, RMCs and RTMs carrying HRBs now operate against an evidence standard most organisations were never asked to build. Trellum reads the information requirements against the records the organisation holds and produces the register, model and process that the Accountable Person carries into a safety-case review.
What the BSR expects to see
- Asset information model — current, auditable, versioned.
- Safety-case report — risk-based, not checklist.
- Mandatory occurrence reporting route — operable.
- Resident engagement strategy — evidenced, not filed.
- Golden-thread hand-off — at any change of AP.
The Golden Thread Gap Audit
The audit reads the information requirements of BSA Part 4 and the Higher-Risk Buildings regulations against the records the organisation currently holds. The output is a gap register, mapped to the statutory obligation each line sits against — an audit-ready register the Accountable Person can carry into a safety-case review without modification. Fixed-fee sprint with a single named deliverable.
Duty-holder map
- Managing agents — named agent to an RMC, RTM or freeholder for one or more HRBs. Carrying operational delivery but not the statutory duty.
- RMC directors — Resident Management Company directors. Often carry the AP duty by default and need the framework to discharge it.
- RTM companies — Right-to-Manage companies taking on management from the freeholder. Need to inherit a defensible evidence base.
- Named Accountable Persons — the statutory duty-holder. Needs the golden thread, the safety-case report, and an operable complaints route.
