Building Regulations Consultancy

The Building Safety Act 2022 was introduced to reform building safety legislation in direct response to the Grenfell Tower tragedy. The Act introduced a new regime and new duty holders.

Our specialist teams of advisers and Principal Designers provide proactive Building Regulations consultancy to ensure our clients' in-house teams, external consultants and supply chain manage and comply with their duties under legislation and regulations, to ensure compliance.

Our proactive approach helps the duty holders comply with their new duties to obtain Building Regulations approval. We are skilled at getting the best out of duty holders, developing project specific and compliant solutions which are much more than ticking checkboxes.

We have developed best practice tailored documentation, procedures and software to carry out Building Regulations compliance on small, medium and large projects.

Our wide-ranging experience allows us to offer support for higher risk and non-higher risk buildings.

Building Regulations - Principal Designer

The Building Regulations Principal Designer (BRPD) is a statutory role responsible for planning, managing and monitoring the design work during projects design phase, specifically in relation to the Building Regulations. This is a separate role to the Principal Designer under the CDM 2015 Regulations and the role relates to Building Regulation compliance, not design risk management (as with CDM).

Our BRPD approach is as follows:

  • We provide Principal Designer (BRPD) services to clients in a proactive manner, resulting in practical design solutions which satisfy the regulations

  • As BRPD we encourage the designers to provide compliance information which is required for the Building Regulations application.

  • Our practical Building Regulation services ensure compliance by influencing the designers and design sub-contractors to comply with the Approved Documents under the Building Regulations 2010. This role can span both pre and post contract depending upon the procurement route adopted.

Advisor to Principal Designer

Some designers require help and assistance to perform their duties. Our Advisor to Principal Designers (APD) role supports the lead designer in satisfying their organisational competency to perform their duty holder's role as Principal Designer for Building Regulations.
