PANEL: Beyond The PDF Dump: Streamlining Safety Cases and a Digital HRB Handover

19 Nov 2025
FIRE SAFETY ARENA

This session explores the reasons why mis-matched definitions of the ‘golden thread’ fail. PDF dumps, locked BIM models, and missing data undermine all the effort and investment made by developers.

A broader view outside ‘compliance culture’ along with better pre-handover communication would dramatically reduce post-occupation disputes and confusion.

  • What do AP/RPs need to manage a building and its safety case?
  • How could developers instead handover a safety management system
  • Why BIM handovers often fail and what would be more useful.
