Processes for Principal Designer Building Control

by Tony Threadgold, Director

Our latest Building Safety Act white paper gives practical guidance for owners, developers and surveyors on Principal Designer duties and Building Control under current regulations.

It sets out how to recognise Higher Risk Buildings (HRBs), what Building Safety Regulator (BSR) applications involve, and the competence and responsibilities expected of Principal Designers. It also covers inspection and certification, document submissions, and keeping a clear compliance audit trail through design and construction.

Whether you are delivering an HRB or a lower-risk scheme, the paper helps teams understand statutory duties, reduce non-compliance risk, and produce safe buildings aligned with the Building Safety Act 2022.
