national building register
New legislation
New secure facility
The National Building Register is the only single source of truth centralised end of project repository for all your existing or new property record documentation in the UK. Secure, structured, encrypted and accessible from any location. The only reliable and independent asset storage facility to meet all new data compliance regulations for building owners. NBR streamlines the organisation, storage and retrieval of all building records, statutory approvals, warranties, guarantees and service records into a seamless searchable format, making it simple for stakeholders to access, review, update and download essential information from a single platform whenever you need it 24/7.
What the Government says
It will be the duty of the people responsible for a building to put in place and maintain a golden thread of information. Having a golden thread will mean that those people responsible will have easily accessible, reliable, up to date and accurate information. Without this information, it is very difficult to manage buildings safely.
Implementation of the golden thread will require individuals and organisations responsible for a building to have good information management systems and a clear understanding of how information management supports building safety. Going forward the information management for safety will need to be embedded across the sector.
You must manage and store information about a building, so that it is:
kept digitally
secure from unauthorised access
available when someone needs the information
presented in a way someone can use
a building’s single source of truth
accessible, by providing the information in a simple format that is easy to understand and written in plain English
compliant with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Upload it all to one secure source of truth, where it is attached to the building for its entire lifetime
How it works
Data security
Protecting your property documentation is our top priority. Our ISO encrypted data security solution is designed to safeguard your sensitive information, providing assurance nothing will be corrupted or lost, with login tracking and date stamping for all downloads. Our cloud services have certified data resilience and we only use EU/UK based data hosts
Onboarding users
Although our platform will have a user friendly interface, we offer an onboarding service as part of your subscription plan. We want to ensure your team are fully conversant and comfortable with how to use our interactive dashboard. Need ongoing support, not a problem, we offer a helpline service should you need it
Data optimisation
We optimise the accurate logging of your assets with our document identification processes. Uploads are meta tag checked prior to filing. We ensure that your data is structured, and stored efficiently for your maximum ease of use and benefit. Filter and sort what you require, when you require it. Search and view by thumbnail or filter by category. It's up to you.
Simplified and focussed
Need all your current EWS1 forms for all HRB properties for audit purposes. Just request and filter so your properties that have a current EWS1 in place will be displayed. Avoid expired forms as due dates will be flagged prior to the expiry date. Print a live report if you need one.
Planning further works, search record drawings and specifications to issue for tender.
Time management
Currently, property documentation capture is fragmented and scattered across multiple platforms, folders and local desktops, leading to inefficiencies in reliable collation, risk of errors, wrong versions, and oversights. This increases operational costs and delays in decision making follow. With our unrivalled organisational expertise in managing property asset data, we aim to gain your trust when you subscribe to the National Building Register
Existing records
Ensure you have a robust and complete set of digitised O&M and H&S documentation for each property. Our pre-upload decision tree will guide you through identifying all the documents you should be uploading. The NBR is the only property data repository that will adopt and digitise your existing records that did not utilise an O&M digital service provider. We understand existing records need a new digital home too.
You can use a mobile too
Use your mobile or tablet when undertaking maintenance to search wiring diagrams, drawings, COSHH info, testing regimes and service records. These can all be updated with the latest inspections as new versions, and will sit alongside existing records, creating a clear audit trail. Restricted access rights can be granted just for the task and only to relevant folders. All your data is active and accessible when you need it, we don't freeze or archive any of it.
