Construction companies are now able to seamlessly adhere to regulatory compliance with an integrated solution streamlining project workflows.

Strict regulatory requirements of the Building Safety Act, including the Golden Thread of Information, demands due diligence to maintain a clear record of compliance which construction companies – particularly small to medium sized ones –  may struggle to maintain due to factors like limited knowledge of complex regulations, inadequate resources and difficulty managing documentation.

In response to this challenge, KMS – a pioneer in project-centric construction CRM solutions – is partnering with Resco (a  provider of mobile and development tools for business applications) to offer a cohesive software that enables companies operating in the built environment to maintain a clear record of all the project information. This allows for streamlined project workflows and ensures regulatory compliance in adherence to the Golden Thread of Information as outlined in the Building Safety Act.

To ensure compliance is maintained and risk is mitigated in a post-Grenfell Tower environment, the Golden Thread of Information is a critical aspect of the construction sector’s regulatory landscape – mandating clear and auditable documentation throughout the lifecycle of a building. Many construction businesses struggle to implement effective systems that capture and track essential project data. KMS will integrate Resco’s advanced field data collection technology into its existing CRM solutions, offering a seamless way for construction businesses to document, report and manage compliance requirements.

Daniel Parkin, Sales Director at KMS, highlighted the pressing need for accessible solutions in the construction industry. “Many construction companies lack the time, expertise, or financial resources to invest in complex compliance tools,” he said. “The partnership with Resco allows us to offer a user-friendly, cost-effective solution that captures real-time data, links it to project records and provides a comprehensive audit trail. This ensures businesses meet compliance requirements without being overwhelmed by high costs and administrative burdens.”

Resco’s data collection application called Inspections+ will sit on top of KMS’ CRM system, allowing construction businesses to schedule tasks, have up-to-date field information with advanced synchronisation, deliver seamless data mapping and generate compliance records efficiently. This integration ensures that critical project information – such as surveys, inspections and audits – can be retrieved instantly at any place and time. Additionally, the software integration allows construction companies to meet the documentation standards required for planning approvals and project sign-offs, mitigating against potential planning approval delays – a key issue currently faced by the industry.

With the introduction of stricter building regulations, industry leaders recognise the need for digital adoption and transformation. The combined capabilities of KMS and Resco’s solutions provide a scalable solution tailored to the needs of contractors, subcontractors and project managers.
