Principal Designer

The evidence behind your signature

As Principal Designer, you sign to say the design complies, and you may need to stand behind that years after handover. Avoice tracks every requirement, every designer and every change as the project runs, building the record in the background of every stage. When it is time to sign, the proof is already there.

Every duty, discharged and dated.

The Part 2A duties are laid out as a checklist against the project, from planning and monitoring the design to informing the Principal Contractor. Each one shows whether it has been met, by whom, and on what evidence.

Every designer, competent on record.

Appointments, scopes and competence evidence for the whole design team, including your own appointment and the client's confirmation. If a designer is ever questioned, the check you made is on file.

Every declaration, built from the evidence.

The Gateway 2 declaration and completion statement are assembled from the Regs Tracker, the Project Record and the CDM register, so what you sign is drawn from the project record, not written from memory.

Every Part 2A duty, tracked to close

The Principal Designer's duties are set out in law, and each one has to be shown as discharged. Avoice lays them out as a live checklist against the project and links each one to the evidence that proves it.

  • Plan, manage and monitor duties broken into dated, assignable steps
  • Each duty linked to the drawings, queries or decisions that discharge it
  • Open duties flagged ahead of Gateway 2 and completion, not after

Every designer, competent on record

The duty covers designers you do not employ. Avoice holds each appointment, scope and competence check for the whole design team, so if a designer's work is ever questioned, the check you made is on file.

  • Appointments and scopes recorded per designer, per project
  • Competence evidence stored against each appointment
  • Your own PD appointment and the client's confirmation in the same place

A declaration built from the record

The Gateway 2 compliance declaration and the completion statement are assembled from the Regs Tracker, the Project Record and the CDM register. You review what the project already shows, then sign it.

  • Gateway 2 and completion statements drafted from live project data
  • Every statement traceable to the register line behind it
  • Issued declarations filed to the document register, numbered and dated
