Principal Designer (Building Regulations) - Residential Developments

The service is executed via a 5-step professional process, ensuring a rigorous and consistent approach from initial design assistance to the final signing of the Compliance Statement.

Whether you are building a new build house, a block of flats, or an entire large-scale housing development, we can undertake the critical role of Principal Designer under the Building Regulations. Our service provides Comprehensive Residential Scope, ensuring that projects of any size—from single dwellings to major housing schemes—receive expert regulatory management.


Utilising our deep, authoritative experience in Building Control and the Building Regulations, we ensure that your project's design is robustly compliant from the outset. We don't just check for compliance; we proactively manage it, addressing and validating all changes made to the design throughout the construction phase of the project.


Our commitment to compliance and transparency is delivered through a rigorous, 5-step professional process:

  1. Assist Design Team with Building Regulations compliance during the Design Phase: We act as your expert advisor, guiding the design team to pre-emptively integrate compliance into the design process, saving time and mitigating risk later.

  2. Assessment of all design information against our live tracker: Every element of your design is rigorously assessed against our bespoke, comprehensive compliance tracker.

  3. Creation of our Principal Designer - Building Regulations (PD-BR) Report: We formalise our findings in this detailed report, which is your clear evidence of the design's regulatory status.

  4. Review of changes to the Design during the construction, with PD-BR report updated on each occasion: Compliance is a continuous process. We manage all on-site design changes, updating our report in real-time to ensure the as-built project remains compliant.

  5. Signing of Compliance Statement when works are complete: This is the final, legally significant document that formally certifies the works have been completed in accordance with the Building Regulations.


We ensure Transparent, Real-Time Monitoring by making the live tracker accessible to the client, the Design Team, and the Principal Contractor. The detailed PD-BR report is issued to the Client every time it is updated, providing an ongoing audit trail of compliance management.
