The Platform Behind
Assured Delivery
Genera Systems turns the UK construction standards stack into controls enforced by software. ISO 19650, CDM 2015, the Building Safety Act 2022, PMBOK® 8, UK GDPR, the Procurement Act 2023 — embedded into the workflow, not stapled on top of it.
The Project Assurance Framework Manual
At the heart of the platform is the Project Assurance Framework Manual (PAFM) — a 430-page governance playbook developed from two decades of UK construction delivery. The PAFM is the translation layer between what the standards say and what the software makes happen.
Every rule in the standards has a corresponding control in the platform. Every control has an owner, a trigger, an evidence requirement and an audit trail. Nothing floats. Nothing is optional.
Standards Embedded
The platform is aligned to the full stack of standards and legislation that govern UK construction — not referenced, not recommended, but enforced.

Three-Tier Governance
The platform imposes a clear governance structure on every project — strategic, management, and delivery layers, each with its own decisions, its own evidence, and its own approval gates.
Strategic Tier
Client objectives, business case, benefits realisation, portfolio governance. The why.
Management Tier
Scope, schedule, finance, risk, stakeholders, resources, procurement. The how.
Delivery Tier
Site execution, quality, health and safety, environmental, subcontract performance. The what.
Role-Based Gates
Every transition requires the right approver. No approval, no progression. Full decision log.
Audit Trail
Every action timestamped, attributed and immutable. The audit you will wish you had always had.
ISO 19650 CDE
A Common Data Environment with enforced filename conventions, state transitions, and a combined Uniclass / IFC classification layer. Information containers, not files.
Golden Thread
For higher-risk buildings under the Building Safety Act, the golden thread is validated from Gateway 2 through to handover and through the building's operational life.
PMBOK® 8 Domains
End-to-end workflows for every performance domain — Governance, Scope, Schedule, Finance, Stakeholders, Resources, Risk — with the integration between them preserved.
Lean Construction
Last Planner, Takt planning, Kaizen cycles, 5S audits and Gemba walks as native tooling — not as documents describing them, but as working features.
Compliance by Design
Compliance is embedded into the platform, not bolted on. UK GDPR data handling, Modern Slavery Act supplier checks, Bribery Act gifts and hospitality logging, Equality Act records, Procurement Act 2023 transparency, RIDDOR reporting — all enforced through the platform rather than policed by spreadsheet.
The right thing also becomes the easiest thing. That is the design principle.
Why It Matters
UK construction projects fail for knowable reasons: unclear accountability, lost information, missed compliance gates, silent risk. The platform makes each of those failures structurally harder by removing the workarounds that cause them.
Every action has an owner. Every decision has an audit trail. Every standard has a control. Every project leaves behind a dataset that can prove, months or years later, exactly what happened and why.
Current Development Status
Genera QA & HS&E is the first module shipping — currently in pilot-ready development for on-site quality and safety execution.
Genera CIMS is in active development, with the PAFM framework complete and the software architecture underway.
Genera Schedule has a working prototype on 1,000-task programmes and is scaling toward 10,000+ task schedules with DCMA checking and NSGA-III multi-objective optimisation.
