Introduction

Clarity on Dutyholder Responsibilities

The Building Safety Act introduces defined duties for Clients, Principal Designers and Principal Contractors.

We support organisations to understand what is required and implement it in a way that aligns with how projects are actually delivered.

The focus is on clarity, accountability, and coordination.

What This Means

Understanding your responsibilities in practice

✓
Clearly defined dutyholder roles
✓
Demonstrating competence
✓
Effective coordination of design and construction
✓
Structured management of information

Understanding these requirements early avoids delays and uncertainty later.
