"Where the regulatory position is unresolved, we state it. Where the documentation is insufficient, we do not proceed."
Our Principal Designer appointments span Gateway 2 submission, change control, and the full statutory compliance framework under SI 2023/909. We operate across JCT, NEC, RIBA, and RIAI.
The Building Safety Act 2022 places significant duties on the Principal Designer to coordinate compliance across all disciplines. SADA brings in-depth knowledge of all Gateway stages, mandatory document production, and the BSR's current assessment standards — including the CLC December 2025 guidance suite (GN01–GN09).
