The Building Safety Act 2022 is a statutory framework designed to improve the design, construction, and management of higher-risk buildings in England. It introduces new duties to anchor safety at every project milestone. A core requirement is the creation of a golden thread of information,—a digital record that maintains accurate, accessible, and up-to-date data throughout the building's entire lifecycle.
The Act applies to all new construction projects in England, but the most rigorous requirements—including the three-stage Gateway process—are focused on higher-risk buildings. These include residential buildings, hospitals, and care homes that are at least 18 metres tall or have at least seven storeys. For these projects, main contractors must secure regulator approval at Gateway 2 before any construction work can begin on-site. Failure to comply with these statutory "hard stops" can result in significant legal penalties and project standstills.
Procore provides a collaborative hub that uses the Action Plans tool to manage the documentation required for Building Safety Regulator (BSR) approval. It allows you to track, compile, and organise over 200 potential documents into a structured digital dossier. The goal is to move away from the unorganised "document dumps" that often lead to submission rejections. By using these vetted checklists, you can coordinate the evidence needed to prove compliance before work begins on-site.
The Act introduces three approval stages to ensure safety at every milestone. Gateway 1 occurs at the planning stage and focuses on fire safety statements. Gateway 3 happens at completion and requires evidence that the finished build matches the approved design before the building can be occupied. Gateway 2 is the pre-construction "hard stop," acting as the bridge where a full package of design and safety information must be approved. Managing the transition between these stages is essential to maintaining everything you need to know about the Building Safety Act across the project.
No. Procore provides the tools and structured workflows necessary to assemble a high-quality submission, but the final decision rests with the Building Safety Regulator (BSR). The software helps you organise drawings and statements into a logical format to assist the regulator’s review. The BSR evaluates technical content independently; our platform simply provides the unified intelligence to present it clearly.
In the context of the Building Safety Act, compliance means proving that a building's design and construction strictly follow safety regulations. For Gateway 2, this involves providing a site diary of evidence that the proposed plans meet all requirements. Compliance is no longer a retrospective task; it is a live process that requires constant tracking of safety statements and technical designs. Using one central hub ensures that every stakeholder has provided the necessary evidence to satisfy the Building Safety Regulator.
