Practicalities of Principal Designer

The new Construction Design & Management Regulations (NI) have now been in effect for a year. Many construction professionals have developed a sound understanding of the new regulations and have either gained experience as a Principal Designer or at least have been introduced to the role. To help members continue their development in this role and to enhance their ability to efficiently discharge their duties RSUA has developed this one day workshop. The workshop focuses on the practical delivery of the role and is appropriate for practices of all types and is aimed at those with an existing reasonable understanding of the regulations.

Due to the interactive nature of this workshop the candidate numbers will be restricted to 12.
