Knowledge Bank: Principal Designer Responsibilities Under Building Regulations
During our online Knowledge Banks, you will have the opportunity to listen and interact during sessions and not only update your knowledge, but ask questions to help solve any issues you may have.
This upcoming webinar presented by Mark Jackson & Natalie Laybourn, Watts Group, will provide a comprehensive overview of the role and responsibilities of the Principal Designer under the Building Regulations 2010. Attendees will gain clarity on the legal definition of the role, how it differs from duties under the CDM Regulations 2015 and the Building Safety Act 2022, and where the Principal Designer fits within the wider project team. The session will explore key compliance requirements, including fire safety, accessibility, and sustainability standards, as well as how to align with the expectations of the Building Safety Regulator.
The webinar will also focus on practical aspects such as risk management, collaboration, and the golden thread of information. Speakers will discuss strategies for identifying and mitigating design risks early, integrating health and safety throughout the project lifecycle, and ensuring robust record-keeping through digital tools such as BIM. The session will conclude with a Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to raise questions, share experiences, and receive expert guidance tailored to the challenges Principal Designers face in today’s regulatory landscape.
