Gateway 2 Compliance: Why It Matters
The construction industry faces increasing pressure as Gateway 2 submissions are often rejected, causing costly delays. By meeting mandatory BSA requirements early, projects run more smoothly and efficiently, with all key information agreed well ahead of time.
Key Submission Requirements
- Detailed Design Information
Accurate design drawings are essential to confirm compliance with building regulations and safe evacuation standards. Submissions must demonstrate adherence to:- Approved Document K
- BS 6180:2011
- Any project-specific performance criteria
- Structural Calculations
Structural load assessments for balustrades must be prepared or verified by a competent structural engineer. This ensures balustrading loads are fit for purpose and builds confidence with the Building Safety Regulator.
Golden Thread: Preparing for Gateway 3
While Gateway 2 focuses on design approval, Gateway 3 (completion and handover) demands a full, verified record of compliance and building information. This is where the Golden Thread principle becomes vital.
Our Digital Transformation Approach
- Advanced Project Management Software: We use robust digital tools to organize project sections/elements, itemize every component, and manage compliance from design through installation.
- Comprehensive Data Management: Every element is tracked and documented, ensuring transparency and accountability for clients and regulators.
- Lifecycle Oversight: By maintaining accurate, structured, and accessible data throughout the project, we make Gateway 3 straightforward, providing a complete, verified record for handover and occupancy.
Safety Through Innovation
Our structured, technology-driven approach has delivered measurable improvements:
- Improved Site Quality & Compliance through standardized processes and detailed documentation.
- Cost & Risk Reduction for clients by minimizing wastage and keeping projects on time and budget.
- Upskilled Workforce through tailored training and workshops.
