Project Workload for Information

last Updated 23 May 2025 [updated weekly]

Please note that workload is dealt with in the order that it was appointed. As we also work with Local Authorities, Building Control, Other Consultants, Manufacturers, Suppliers, Clients, Builders, Contractors there is a lot of tooing and froeing and downtime on a project. - - - - - - -

  • Where planners consult us on live applications, they will usually set a short often 7 day deadline for responses to consultations to be provided. They will then request a 30 day period for them to respond, but this is often exceeded. We need to deal with planning responses, and slot these in, in between existing workload, as and when they arise.
  • Where projects are on site we will need to slot in Site Inspections into our workload to suit the progress of works on site
  • Where projects are on site we will need to respond to site queries to suit site progress, any materials or manufacturing supply issues, and Contractors queries, slotting these into our workload.
  • We will need to respond to Manufacturers queries/comments / Tender procedures to suit project pre construction progress and slot these into our workload
  • We will need to respond to Building Control queries/comments to suit pre construction sign off and site progress and slot these into our workload
  • Where we are CA or PM on any project on site, we need to slot CA and PM management into our workload to suit progress of work on site
  • CPD - As Architects we are and have always been required to carry out 37 hours CPD to ensure we are up to date on a range of topics, we have previosuly only had to record hours on range of subjects internally - for 35 years. .
    Since 2024 we now need to record this formally on ARB and RIBA database confirming how each activity has benefitted are continuing proffessional development.
  • Principal Designers Registration process
    Following changes to the Principal Designers role and Regulation processes we are now required to formally take a competance test and register on the RIBA register of Principal Designers before the end of December 2025. The initial process for this has required a 6 week Fire Safety course, and a 6 week Principal Designers course to run through all of the changes in how Principal Designers services are to be provided and how the Building Control applicaiton process and the information required is now operated. The process also involves preparing a CV of proects showing past experince.
    We are living in a completely different 'world' . [despite haveing carried out the PD role for 35+ years]
    Building Control Officers went through a similar process last year , beware Contractors and Builders are next in the registration and proving competance process.
