Berkeley Group: Gateway 3 ready, Group-wide

At the scale Berkeley operates, inconsistent quality processes and fragmented evidence trails create real risk — at Gateway 3, at handover, and across divisions. Sablono provides the structured execution platform to close that gap, Group-wide.

Why quality and compliance become harder to manage at Group scale — and what Sablono does about it

For a portfolio of Berkeley's scale, the value isn't just on individual schemes — it's in the consistency a Group-wide platform creates. Every division, every region, every site team operating to the same standard, producing the same structured Golden Thread record, without each running its own approach. Sablono is already live on Berkeley schemes, including White City and Regent's View, and the next phase is extending that capability across the Group.

What Sablono changes for Berkeley Group

Sablono is a construction execution and quality management platform. Site teams use it to record quality checks, progress, and sign-offs as work happens — building a structured evidence trail automatically rather than assembling it retrospectively under Gateway 3 submission pressure.

Foundation icon-1 Standardised quality processes across divisions

A consistent quality framework applied across every Berkeley scheme, regardless of division, region, or site team — so the standard doesn't vary with who's managing the site.

  • One quality standard across every high-value residential scheme
  • Removes the variation that comes from division-level or site-manager-level approaches
 
Foundation icon (2) Subcontractor coordination at Group scale

Every site team, subcontractor, and specialist trade connected within one structured system across every active scheme — Group-level progress visibility without manual aggregation between divisions.

  • Subcontractor activity tracked and coordinated within the same platform
  • Group-level visibility without each division reporting separately
 
Foundation icon (3) Gateway 3 Golden Thread, built in from day one

Every quality check, inspection, and sign-off captured as work happens — building the structured Golden Thread evidence required for Gateway 3 sign-off automatically, rather than assembled at submission.

  • Structured evidence trail from groundworks to Gateway 3 submission
  • Consistent Golden Thread record across every higher-risk residential scheme in the portfolio
 

How Sablono Helps

Berkeley's full supply chain, one platform
Connect every site team, subcontractor, and specialist trade across Berkeley's portfolio in one structured system — from individual schemes up to Group-level visibility, without manual aggregation between divisions.
TrackTraceFlow LP (2)
Group-wide visibility without the reporting overhead
Divisional and Group teams get a live view of quality and progress across every active scheme — not a summary compiled from individual site reports. Issues surface as they happen, at the level that needs to act on them.
TrackTraceFlow LP (6)
Structured execution from groundworks to handover
Activity and progress tracked against the programme sequence on every scheme in real time. Delays and blockers surface before they affect the critical path — and before they affect the Gateway 3 timeline.
TrackTraceFlow LP (4)
Golden Thread evidence that builds itself

Every quality check and sign-off captured on site as work happens, automatically building the structured Golden Thread record required for Gateway 3 — across every scheme, every division, consistently.

FAQs

What does Gateway 3 actually require from Berkeley as a developer-contractor? As a developer-contractor on higher-risk buildings, Berkeley holds the principal contractor and principal designer duties under the Building Safety Act. That means being responsible not just for building to the required standard but for evidencing it — producing a structured Golden Thread of information that demonstrates compliance throughout the build. Sablono's audit trail is built around that requirement.
How does a Group-wide rollout work without disrupting active schemes? Expansion is structured around the existing programme rather than imposed on it. Divisions and regions are onboarded in a planned sequence, building on processes already validated on live Berkeley schemes — including White City and Regent's View — rather than starting from scratch. Active deployments continue uninterrupted throughout.
How does Sablono handle the scale and complexity of Berkeley's portfolio across multiple divisions?

Each division or region manages its own schemes within the same system, with Group-level visibility sitting above — so leadership sees across the whole portfolio without each division needing to report separately. The platform is designed to scale without the reporting overhead that normally comes with it.

What does the Golden Thread evidence record look like for Gateway 3 submission? Each higher-risk building produces a complete, structured record of every quality check, inspection, and sign-off logged during the build — with timestamps and responsible parties — structured for Building Safety Regulator review. The record builds automatically as work progresses rather than being assembled at submission.
Can Sablono coordinate Berkeley's subcontractor base at Group scale?

Yes. Subcontractors are connected within the same platform as Berkeley's own teams — each seeing only what's relevant to their scope. At Group scale that means a consistent approach to subcontractor coordination across every scheme, rather than each site managing it differently.

What does success look like at Group scale? A consistent quality standard and Golden Thread evidence process across every Berkeley division and region — so that the structured execution capability already demonstrated on live schemes becomes the Group norm rather than the exception on individual deployments.
