Principal Designer/CDM Advisor
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM2015) places significant responsibilities on the client to ensure all works are fully compliant with the Regulations.
Clients significantly influence the design, procurement and management of a contract. CDM 2015 recognises this and places accountability on the client in respect of their project's health, safety, and welfare.
In particular circumstances, a client must appoint a Principal Designer (PD) to plan, manage and coordinate the planning and design work. The PD should be appointed (in writing) as early as possible.
L+H has provided the necessary experienced and qualified personnel to our many clients since the original CDM Regulations came into force in 1995.
We are Members of the Association of Project Safety, and our accredited Principal Designers bring the necessary technical knowledge, competence and experience to any project.
As your Principal Designer/CDM Advisor, we will:-
- Assist in the development of the project brief
- Plan, manage and monitor the pre-construction phase
- Collate, coordinate and share pre-construction information
- Ensure client and designer compliance with CDM2015
- Attend design team meetings and undertake regular design reviews
- Provide support and advice to the principal contractor throughout the construction phase
- Ensure all relevant paperwork, notifications, and health & safety (H&S) information is in place
- Agree on the format of the H&S file and ensure delivery to the client at the end of the project
