Golden Thread

Our Compliance Ethos

Our Commitment to Safety.

At TMJ Contractors, the golden thread is more than a box to tick. It is our commitment to keeping people safe and keeping your project compliant, from first fix to handover and beyond. We combine 25 years of joinery expertise with digital record keeping that proves what was designed, what was installed, and how it meets the rules.

What is the golden thread?

The golden thread is the digital, living record of a building. It holds the right information to understand the asset, manage fire and structural risks, and show how work complies. It stays accurate, accessible, and up to date through design, construction, and occupation.
For Higher Risk Buildings, keeping a golden thread is a legal requirement. For every other project, it is simply good practice. Either way, our approach gives you evidence you can trust.

How TMJ delivers the golden thread

We align our site delivery with your Common Data Environment so the record is created as we work, not chased at the end.
  • Single source of truth, held digitally and structured by zone, location, and asset ID
  • Real time evidence, photos and checklists captured on site with project iPads
  • Product traceability for fire critical items, including batch numbers and certificates
  • Controlled change with logged approvals for any deviation from drawings
  • Competence and supervision aligned to recognised industry frameworks
  • Clean handover with searchable O&M linked to each installed item
  • What you get on every compliance led package

  • Verified product data, DoPs, declarations, test evidence, and UKCA or CE details where applicable
  • Installation records that show who did the work, when it was done, and to what method
  • Location based photos before, during, and after installation
  • As built drawings and markups that match what is on site
  • Inspection and test plans signed and dated
  • Change control log with reasons, approvals, and dates
  • O&M and maintenance guidance presented clearly for the end user
  • Our digital toolkit

    We use FieldView by Viewpoint and project specific iPads to connect site teams, supervisors, and the commercial desk. This keeps quality and commercial control aligned with your systems and gives you transparent progress and evidence at all times.

    Product traceability for fire doorsets and joinery

    Fire resisting doorsets and associated ironmongery are safety critical. Our golden thread records include:
  • Doorset identification, type, rating, size, leaf and frame materials
  • Component schedules for closers, hinges, latches, seals, glass, and signage
  • Certification and classification references from the manufacturer or certification body
  • Delivery and batch numbers matched to installation locations
  • Installation method statements and approved fixings
  • On site checks for gaps, signage, self closing, and hold open devices
  • Remedials and re inspections recorded with time stamped photos
  • Competence and supervision

    Safe outcomes depend on competent people. Our managers and supervisors hold recognised qualifications and we keep training and competency records inside the golden thread. This includes inductions, toolbox talks, method statement briefings, and any specialist training relevant to the package.

    Change management

    If conditions on site require a change, we handle it visibly. We log the reason for the change, the technical impact, the approvals received, and the date. We record what was installed instead and attach updated drawings or data sheets so the record always matches reality.

    Handover and aftercare

    At Practical Completion you receive a clean, digital pack that mirrors the structure used during delivery. Asset registers, settings, maintenance, and inspection intervals are linked to each item. If you need us post handover, we can help you keep the golden thread current through minor works, replacements, or refurbishments.

    Data security and access

    We follow sensible data protection practices and can host information in your CDE or supply it securely in open formats. Access is controlled by role, and audit trails show who added what and when.

    Typical inclusions for joinery packages

  • Fire doorsets and frames, screens, and ironmongery
  • IPS and cubicle systems
  • Skirtings, architraves, window boards, and trims
  • Counters, feature walls, and specialist one offs
  • Each item is traceable to approved design, product data, and installation evidence.

    Why it matters

  • Safety first, clear proof that the right products are in the right places and working as intended
  • Faster sign off, less rework and fewer queries because everything is evidenced
  • Lower lifecycle cost, better maintenance and easier replacements because data is organised
  • Clear accountability, everyone understands what was done, when, and by whom
  • How to work with us

    1. Scope and risk review, we agree what information is needed for your project
    2. Set up the data structure in your CDE or ours, mapped to locations and assets
    3. Deliver and capture evidence as work proceeds, with supervisor checks
    4. Handover a clean, searchable pack at PC and support you in occupation if required
