cdm principal design
Our CDM and Building Regulations Principal Designer services ensure your project complies with the Building Regulations and Gateways applications for High Risk Buildings (HRBs).
Our experienced team of qualified professionals help you mitigate risk and ensure regulatory compliance.
The Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations provide construction legislation around health and safety, from the initial stages of a project through to completion.
The Building Safety Act (BSA) introduced a gateway regime for higher risk buildings in 2022 to raise safety standards of all buildings.
safety-led design, regulation-led delivery
The Building Regulations Principal Designer (BRPD) is a statutory appointment, mandatory when there is more than one contractor.
The BRPD ensures that the building is designed and constructed in accordance with the current legislation to ensure the safety of future occupants.
We have a dedicated and experienced CDM team to fulfil the CDMPD and BRPD roles, and drive your project’s success in health and safety and building regulations compliance.
From high‑risk buildings to sensitive refurbishments, we ensure your project is safe, compliant, and regulator-ready - every step of the way.
why cdm & brpd matter
CDM Principal Designer (CDMPD)
Under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations, we identify and manage health & safety risks from concept to completion. This role ensures that designers, contractors, and clients collaborate effectively to protect both site workers and future users.
Building Regulations Principal Designer (BRPD)
Introduced under the Building Safety Act and aligned with the Building Regulations, the BRPD is a statutory requirement when more than one contractor is involved. This role oversees fire safety, structural integrity, energy performance, and compliance throughout the design phase - particularly vital for higher-risk buildings
