Partnering with Innovation
As pioneers in creating compliance solutions, Frankham recognise that we can help clients by providing a simple, flexible and efficient tool specifically for assimilating your Golden Thread information.

The 5 core functions of the FRMS Matrix are:
- To provide a simple, intuitive database to store all relevant documents / reports for each building in your portfolio as required by the BSA 2022.
- To future-proof this functionality with an ancillary library of information relating to ongoing or future Gateway projects.
- To provide guidance, information and advice regarding the BSA directly to staff.
- To provide a snapshot tool enabling an instant overview of outstanding actions.
- To have a built-in function which easily provides all the above information and historical documentation to the Building Safety Regulator, or other statutory body, upon request.
