PD & COMPLIANCE
Since the Building Safety Act 2022, Principal Designer appointment isn't optional — it's a statutory requirement on most schemes. But beyond compliance, it's also where design-phase risks are managed before they become construction-phase costs.
We take on the PD role to ensure that compliance is coordinated properly from the outset — not picked up as a problem at practical completion.
