BRPD & Dutyholder
Support

We help dutyholders understand and fulfil their legal obligations under the Building Safety Act and amended Building Regulations.

Under the Building Safety Act and the amended Building Regulations 2010, dutyholders are now subject to strict legal responsibilities for ensuring building safety and regulatory compliance throughout a project’s lifecycle. This includes Clients, Principal Designers, and Principal Contractors, each of whom must demonstrate clear understanding, action, and evidence in discharging their duties.

enevo’s BRPD dutyholder support services offer structured, expert-led guidance to help teams navigate these evolving responsibilities with confidence. Whether you're overseeing a Higher-Risk Building (HRB), coordinating a multi-disciplinary design team, or managing regulatory documentation, we support you every step of the way.

Not all projects require enevo to hold a statutory dutyholder role. We are frequently appointed to support existing dutyholders in an advisory or administrative capacity, providing technical expertise, submission coordination, and compliance assurance without assuming legal responsibility unless formally appointed.

Where we can support without holding the duty

enevo regularly supports projects where statutory dutyholder roles are already appointed, but additional expertise, capacity, or independent oversight is needed to strengthen compliance and reduce approval risk.

In these situations, we act alongside dutyholders to support delivery, coordination, and regulator engagement, without transferring statutory responsibility.

This includes support as:

Advisor to the Building Regulations Principal Designer (HRB and non-HRB projects)
Advisor to the Principal Contractor on Building Regulations compliance
Client-side support for Gateway 2 and Gateway 3 submissions
Technical administration and coordination of Building Safety Regulator submissions

Advisory roles do not carry statutory responsibility. Legal duties remain with the appointed dutyholders. enevo’s role within these appointments is to provide expert technical input, coordination support, and evidence-led advice to strengthen compliance outcomes.

Dutyholder Support Service Overview

Our BRPD dutyholder support helps clarify and manage the responsibilities of each party defined under Regulations 11A-11O. We provide technical oversight, structured guidance, and tools to track compliance, ensuring that dutyholders act competently and document their roles defensibly.

Support can be delivered either as a formally appointed dutyholder role or as an advisory service alongside an existing appointment, depending on project structure.

Key Deliverables:

Clear interpretation of dutyholder roles
Mapping responsibilities across Clients, Designers, and Contractors
Compliance planning, coordination, and documentation oversight
Competency evaluation and regulatory gap analysis
Change control management and CDE implementation
Gateway and Regulation 38 submission readiness

How BRPD Dutyholder Support Works

01

Dutyholder Role Clarification

We start by mapping your project structure and clarifying which parties carry duties under the Building Safety Act and Regulations 11A - 11O. Where enevo is not appointed as the BRPD, we support existing dutyholders by reviewing role definitions, interfaces, and evidence requirements.

02

Compliance Planning and Gap Analysis

We review existing procedures, identify gaps, and provide a tailored compliance roadmap that reflects project type, risk profile, and regulatory requirements.

03

Coordination and Risk Tracking

We support collaboration across dutyholders, assist with change management, and track design and construction risks in Common Data Environments (CDEs). This includes advisory support to Principal Contractors and design teams to ensure change control and compliance evidence remain aligned.

04

Documentation Oversight

We coordinate the preparation, review, and sign-off of Gateway 2 and 3 submission documents, including design declarations and competency evidence. Where acting in an advisory capacity, enevo supports document preparation, quality checks, and submission readiness without acting as the submitting dutyholder.

05

Handover and Regulation 38 Support

We help compile the Fire and Emergency File and Regulation 38 deliverables, ensuring documentation is auditable, complete, and in line with the Responsible Person’s needs.

Why Dutyholder Support Matters

The introduction of enforceable dutyholder roles under the Building Safety Act has significantly raised the bar for compliance. These roles are no longer advisory—they are legal, auditable, and central to a project’s success or failure in the eyes of the Building Safety Regulator (BSR).

Failure to understand or evidence these responsibilities can delay Gateway approvals, result in rejected applications, or expose individuals and organisations to enforcement action. Our BRPD dutyholder support helps prevent that. We translate legislation into workable project systems, bridging the gap between design intent and regulatory expectation.

Even where enevo does not hold a statutory role, our advisory and administrative support helps dutyholders present clear, well-structured, and regulator-ready submissions.

Whether your project is an HRB or not, our support ensures clarity of roles, confidence in documentation, and a practical framework for compliance across every project phase.
