Dutyholders Under the Building Regulations
The Building Regulations set out several key dutyholders involved in the design and construction of a project.
It is important that building owners understand who these dutyholders are and what responsibilities each one has.
There are three main dutyholders:
- Client (including Domestic Clients)
- Principal Designer
- Principal Contractor
If a project only involves one designer or one contractor, they must take on the relevant principal role and the responsibilities that go with it.
