The construction industry faces increasing demands for transparency, accountability, and compliance—all fundamental to the golden thread of information outlined in the Building Safety Act.
Premcrete’s Premtrac portal ensures full traceability throughout the entire project lifecycle, supporting competence, quality assurance, and compliance. It is not a standalone document control system but rather a specialist quality management and training tool that integrates with the document control platforms used by main contractors and principal designers.
Most importantly, Premtrac enables complete traceability—meaning that if an issue arises, every decision, report, and material inspection can be traced right back to its source, ensuring accountability and compliance.
How Premtrac Supports the Golden Thread
Premtrac directly contributes to the golden thread by:
✔ Ensuring Competence – Keeping structured records of training, qualifications, and compliance for all personnel involved in the project.
✔ Maintaining Accountability – Every decision, approval, and inspection is time-stamped and recorded, creating a clear audit trail.
✔ Providing Defect Traceability – If a defect arises, Premtrac enables users to track it back to the original quality control report, responsible personnel, and material records.
✔ Supporting Compliance Audits – Structured and exportable records ensure seamless integration into larger document control systems.
Premtrac doesn’t replace main contractors' document control platforms—it enhances them by capturing critical compliance data and making it easily retrievable when needed.
Defect Traceability: A Critical Component of Compliance
One of the core principles of the golden thread is the ability to trace any issue back to its origin. Premtrac ensures that if a defect is identified—whether during construction, post-completion, or years later—it can be traced through quality control reports, installation records, and material logs.
For example:
🔹 If an installation defect is discovered, Premtrac provides an immediate record of who carried out the work, their training certifications, and any site observations at the time of installation.
🔹 If a material-related failure occurs, Premtrac links the issue to batch records, test reports, and any recorded non-conformance reports, allowing for targeted investigation and resolution.
🔹 In the event of a compliance audit, Premtrac provides a clear, structured audit trail, proving that all safety and quality measures were properly implemented.
Without a system like Premtrac, tracing defects and proving compliance can be a time-consuming and fragmented process, requiring manual searches across multiple systems.
Beyond Gateway 2: A Long-Term Commitment to Compliance and Traceability
By fully aligning with the golden thread, Premtrac provides long-term benefits, including:
✔ Defect Prevention & Resolution – Offering a clear audit trail to trace and resolve issues efficiently.
✔ Stronger Accountability – Every decision, report, and corrective action is permanently logged and accessible.
✔ Efficient Compliance Audits – Reducing administrative workload with structured, exportable data.
Rather than acting as a document control system, Premtrac safeguards the integrity of construction data, ensuring that projects remain compliant, traceable, and accountable from start to finish.
