Infrastructure approval in principle to design and check certificates
We take off your hands: tracking every structure through technical approval to signed certificates, and keeping design responsibility clear.
You get: a design responsibility matrix with gaps flagged, and a tracker for every structure from approval in principle to signed certificates and closed comments.

The problem
Technical approval on our structures lives on a spreadsheet, and we find a missing certificate when the gang is ready to start.
How the steps join up
It starts when: a highways, rail or utility scheme with publicly owned structures enters design under a design and build contract.
Build the design responsibility matrix and flag gaps and overlaps
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Track infrastructure designs through the asset owner's technical approval, from approval in principle to design and check certificates
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Keep the project document register current and catch out-of-date copies in use
Summarise what changed between two drawing revisions
Report late drawings and design information against the schedule
Check temporary works designs against the design brief and the category of check required
Your team checks and decides at this step.
Assess the knock-on effects of a design change on programme, cost, orders and other packages
One more step, which a call confirms.
What you end up with: Design responsibility is clear, every structure needing technical approval is tracked from approval in principle to design and check certificates, the approval authority's comments are closed, and no work starts on an element without its certificate.
Who signs it off: Designers and checkers sign the certificates, the approval authority accepts them and the temporary works coordinator accepts temporary works designs.
What it needs to work
- The asset owner's technical approval standard
- Named designers and checkers
- A programme linked to elements
If those aren’t in place yet, you’ll hear that before anything gets built.
Who it’s for
- Main contractors
- Specialist subcontractors
