Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015

If you are about to alter or extend a building or structure, thinking of putting up a new one or demolishing an existing one, then the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 place a number of specific duties on you. These rules apply to you whether you are a “Domestic Client” or a “Commercial Client” For all projects you are now required to appoint a Principal Designer before significant detailed design work starts so that they can advise and assist you with all of your duties and a Principal Contractor for the actual works”

“ As CDM Advisors, we can help you ensure that you are meeting or exceeding all of the regulatory requirements while adding real value to your project rather than just being another pile of paperwork to be completed and filed.

As part of our services we will:

• Ensure all parties have a clear understanding of their duties through constant communication and consultations.
• Ensure that adequate arrangements are in place for managing the project.
• Collect any surveys and reports required to pre-empt hazards associated with the works.
• Prepare the Pre-Construction Information Document
• Assess the suitability of the Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan.
• Co-ordinate the preparation of the Health and Safety File and collate information from Designers and Contractors.
• Identify with the design team any foreseeable hazards which might affect the health, safety and welfare of those involved in the project.
