UK&I Principal Designer Under the Building Safety Act Webinar - Recorded 24 June 2024

Overview

Join us for a comprehensive webinar diving into the pivotal role of Principal Designers within the new regulatory landscape of the Building Safety Act 2022. With the recent implementation of the Building etc (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2023 on 1 October, clarity is essential for all involved in construction projects, from domestic extensions to higher-risk buildings.

Key points of discussion will include:

• Understanding the accountability and responsibility of Principal Designers.
• Effective risk management strategies within the new regulatory framework.
• The critical importance of communication and collaboration in ensuring building safety.
• Essential skills and competencies required for the role of Principal Designer.

Moreover, we will explore the intersection of the Principal Designer role with PAS 8671:2022, which sets the standard for competence requirements in building safety management.

Leading the webinar is Phil Southgate BSc (Hons) FRICS, C. Build E, FCABE, who is a Director from Norder.
