What Impact do the Part L Changes Have on Architects?

15th June 2022

On the path to achieving the government’s net-zero goals, changes to Part L of the Building Regulations have set ambitious standards for UK housing in terms of efficiency. As project leaders, architects play a fundamental role in implementing these changes.

In terms of practical steps, architects must take an early lead, engaging with developers, contractors and building control to bring clarity to any project. Therefore, clear communication with every member of the project is pivotal, as this enables concerns to be quickly shared and solved.

The changes to Part L require a new approach to working practices, and architects are in an excellent position to set the right tone.
