Student Roost , managing over 30 high-rise buildings across England , faced challenges meeting the Building Safety Act due to inconsistent , scattered documentation across physical folders , drives and SharePoint . This created inefficiencies , data gaps and compliance risks . In 2023 , they transformed operations by migrating all building information to Zutec , establishing a ‘ golden thread ’ of documentation . Zutec ’ s centralised platform streamlined compliance , improved accessibility , and supported health and safety goals , including ISO45001 certification .
