Who do self-builders declare if their Structural engineer is unwilling to be the Principal Designer ?

Who is the Principal Contractor if they are employing trades directly ?

What are the reactions of e.g. Building Control

Structural engineers aren't going to do anything more than structural engineering, and nor would you want them to ;) 

Your general builder 'could' become your principal contractor, but they'd need to agree to officially adopt that role, otherwise it will land in your lap.

Read up here, a lot, as there is an absolute wealth of info here regarding this subject :)

If you are employing trades

BC don’t care 

As long as the work conforms to building regs
