Criminal liability
Non-compliance with the Building Safety Act can result in criminal prosecution and unlimited fines for responsible persons.
Building safety compliance
shouldn't keep you up at night
Brocade gives building managers and self-managed buildings a structured, trackable way to meet Building Safety Act requirements — so you can demonstrate compliance with confidence, not guesswork.
The Building Safety Act changed everything
Responsible persons for higher-risk buildings now face legal obligations that demand rigorous, auditable record-keeping. The consequences of non-compliance are serious — but meeting the requirements shouldn't require a compliance consultancy.
Scattered records
Critical safety documents live across email threads, filing cabinets, and shared drives with no audit trail.
Knowledge loss
When a building manager leaves, years of institutional knowledge about the building's safety history walks out with them.
Complex requirements
Golden Thread obligations, safety cases, fire risk assessments, and remediation tracking all need coordinating.
Everything you need for Golden Thread compliance
One platform to manage your building safety obligations — from document management to action tracking, with an immutable audit trail throughout.
Compliance dashboard
See your compliance status at a glance. Brocade uses fail-open logic so nothing slips through the cracks — if something hasn’t been verified, it’s flagged.
Immutable document management
Upload, version, and manage safety documents with checksum-verified audit trails. Every change is recorded and tamper-evident.
FRA action tracking
Import fire risk assessment actions, assign priorities, track remediation progress, and demonstrate to regulators that actions are being managed.
Scheduled check management
Define recurring safety checks with automated reminders and escalation. Never miss a monthly fire door inspection or quarterly system test.
Issue and contractor management

Give residents a branded portal to view fire safety information, report issues, and stay informed — meeting your duty to engage with residents on safety.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Brocade and building safety compliance.
What is the Golden Thread?
The Golden Thread is the Building Safety Act's requirement that key information about a higher-risk building's design, construction, and ongoing management is recorded, stored, and maintained accurately throughout the building's life. It ensures the right people have the right information at the right time to manage building safety effectively.
Do I need Brocade?
If you manage or are responsible for a higher-risk building (typically 18 metres or 7+ storeys with at least two residential units), you have legal obligations under the Building Safety Act. Brocade helps you meet those obligations systematically. It's also valuable for self-managed buildings where leaseholders or commonholders have taken on safety responsibilities without a professional management background.
How much does Brocade cost?
We offer tailored pricing based on the number of buildings and your organisation's needs. Get in touch and we'll arrange a conversation to understand your requirements and provide a quote.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Brocade is hosted on EU-based infrastructure with data residency in London. All documents are stored with immutable audit trails using checksum verification, so you always have a tamper-evident record of what was uploaded, when, and by whom. Access is controlled through role-based permissions at the organisation level.
