Building Regulations Principal Designer

We create safer buildings and add value to your property. The Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA 2022) introduced the role of Building Regulations Principal Designer (BRPD) to enhance accountability, safety, and compliance in the design phase of building projects across England.

Our expert team, comprising RICS chartered surveyors (MRICS) and Chartered Building Engineers (C. Build MCABE), has all the necessary competence and experience to act as BRPDs.

We have in-depth knowledge of Building Regulations and the Gateway Process and adhere to PAS 8671. This rigorous framework is there to assess our expertise and ensure that we always meet the highest standards.

Our team of surveyors and engineers is responsible for compliance throughout the design phase, including liaising with all stakeholders. For Higher-Risk Buildings (HRBs), projects must follow the Gateway Pathway, a regulatory framework overseen by The Building Safety Regulator (BSR).

We can guide you through the entire process, including application submissions, in collaboration with the design team.

Our services also include:

  • Advising clients of their duties under the Building Regulations.
  • Ensuring design team compliance.
  • Coordination and liaison with the design team.
  • Recording the golden thread of safety-critical information.
  • Demonstrating compliance via the Building Regulations Compliance Tracker.
  • Providing Compliance Statements.
  • Coordination of the Gateway Application documentation.
  • Implementing a change control process to track changes affecting Building Regulations compliance.

We can seamlessly integrate our BRPD role with our Contract AdministrationProject Management and Employer’s Agent services, ultimately protecting all parties involved.
