With the Building Safety Act reshaping how residential buildings are designed, documented and delivered, the demand for experienced Technical Managers who can navigate these new requirements with confidence has never been higher.

At Architecture Social, we partner with specialist residential architecture practices, build-to-rent developers and housing-focused design teams delivering apartment schemes, private sale developments and large-scale housing projects. Our clients frequently brief us on their need for senior Technical Managers who bring deep residential expertise, an authoritative understanding of fire safety compliance and the leadership skills to drive technical quality across multiple concurrent projects. We keep active shortlists to ensure the strongest candidates are introduced to these roles before they reach the wider market.

What Our Clients Typically Ask For:

• Technical Managers experienced in directing technical design strategy for residential schemes of 100 to 500+ units
• Professionals with detailed knowledge of the Building Safety Act, gateway processes and fire safety requirements for residential buildings over 18 metres
• Candidates confident managing compliance with Part B fire safety, acoustic performance standards and Secured by Design requirements
• Managers who oversee the production of employer's requirements, technical specifications and contractor design portion reviews
• Individuals experienced in coordinating with facade engineers, fire engineers, access consultants and specialist subcontractors
• Professionals who lead design reviews and technical quality audits with rigour and consistency
