The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) hosts a series of webinars offering guidance on fulfilling the principal designer role under CDM and the Building Regulations.

The course features six modules that aim to provide participants with awareness and the capability to take on the role, each providing case studies and examples.

Leading the course are architects Nigel Ostime, Joan McCoy, David Brook, Keri Barr, Paul Bussey, Colin Blatchford-Brown, Gary Neal, Robin Palmer and Andrew Croft.

According to RIBA, "this series is suitable for those working with domestic clients and commercial clients on domestic, non-higher-risk building and higher-risk building projects."

RIBA Principal Designer Course Autumn 2025 takes place online from 30 October to 11 December 2025.
