THE SERIOUS BIT. MADE EASY
PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
For any construction project that involves more than one contractor, it’s a legal requirement that you, the client, formally appoints a Principal Designer for your project. Now this may sound scary but it’s for a very good reason. It’s to ensure the health and safety of both your employees and our installation team.
The main role of a Principal Designer is to make sure all health and safety requirements and building regulations are adhered to within the design of your new office mezzanine floor solution. They must also consider how the new facilities will be accessed from a maintenance perspective once it’s complete.
Once you have vetted your chosen Principal Designer, you need to formally appoint them in writing. Luckily for you we have vast experience with acting as a Principal Designer on numerous office mezzanine floor projects over the last decade. For more information on your duties as a client in relation to appointing a Principal Designer click here.
PRINCIPAL CONTRACTOR
Before starting any project that will involve more than one contractor on site, you as the client are legally obligated to formally appoint a Principal Contractor. They will be responsible for the health and safety of all sub-contractors on site. They will also be obligated to ensure all sub-contractors are following correct practices and are carrying out their duties safely.
Even if you, as the client would like to use your own sub-contractors for elements of the project, they must still fall under the protective umbrella of a Principal Contractor. It is a legal obligation that is put in place to protect both your employees and our installation team.
We have the experience you need, when considering a Principal Contractor to plan and execute your office mezzanine floor project for you. For more information in regards to the role of a Principal Contractor and your duties when appointing one, click here.
BUILDING REGULATIONS
ARE MEZZANINE FLOORS SUBJECT TO BUILDING REGULATIONS?
Just as with any other building work, mezzanines must conform to current UK building regulations. To ensure that your mezzanine floor complies with these regulations, we work closely with an approved building inspector. This allows us to essentially ‘pre-approve’ your mezzanine floor application and then start construction as soon as the building notice has been submitted and acknowledged.
This process usually takes about a week. Then, once your mezzanine floor construction is complete, the inspector will visit your premises to ensure that it has been built with the agreed plans in mind and they will then sign it off and your certificate will be issued.
In regards to mezzanine floors that require fire rating, the building inspector will also be accompanied by a fire officer, allowing them to assess that the structure complies with fire safety regulations.
WHAT BUILDING REGULATIONS SHOULD MY MEZZANINE FLOOR MEET?
It’s very unusual for a mezzanine floor to require planning permission, but it is essential that they meet the relevant building regulations; BS5950 part 1 and BS6399 part 5. These regulations cover important safety features such as smoke detectors, fire escapes and protection.
Here at Nexus we have the experience and expertise when it comes to ensuring we meet the appropriate building regulations for your mezzanine floor project. No matter if you need additional office, storage or production space, when you use Nexus for your mezzanine flooring requirements, we guarantee that we’ll always comply with the latest regulations.
