We are a specialist practice for the UK construction sector — building CDE environments, authoring ISO 19650 frameworks, and bringing measurable assurance to data that, until now, has been treated as filing.
Sylfaen Advisory exists because information management on UK construction projects is, with regrettable consistency, an afterthought — outsourced to template libraries, retrofitted into CDE platforms purchased for other reasons, and audited only when something has already gone wrong.
We work in the opposite direction. ISO 19650 is not a wrapper we apply at the end of a project; it is the foundation we begin from. Our engagements are deliberately compact — diagnostics measured in weeks, implementations measured in months — because depth of expertise is what produces results, not breadth of staffing.
The practice serves three audiences without diluting any of them: Tier 1 contractors needing assured information pipelines, asset owners building Golden Thread compliance, and mid-size consultancies retaining fractional information management.
Awen is our internal data assurance platform, purpose-built for ISO 19650 engagements. It’s the tooling behind every engagement we deliver — from Health Check diagnostics through to retained monitoring.

BEPs, EIRs, employer’s information requirements, gap analyses and remediation notes — produced at pace, evidence-backed, and checked by us before they reach you. The platform drafts; we govern quality.
Non-compliant data doesn’t make it into the workspace in the first place — problems are caught at the point of entry, not discovered downstream.
Live compliance rates, workflow adoption, and remediation progress — accessible to every stakeholder, narrated by us each month.
Every engagement is led by a practitioner with primary platform experience — including delivery on schemes spanning health, infrastructure, and housebuilding.
Our frameworks, templates and audit logic begin with the clause-level text of ISO 19650-1 through -5. Nothing is bolted on later because nothing was bolted on at the start.
