Construction Design & Management (CDM) Services
According to the CDM regulation 2007 a CDM Co-ordinator must be appointed and the HSE notified for every construction project that will run longer than 30 days, or 500 person days, excluding where the work is in relation to a domestic client. Early appointment of the CDM Co-ordinator is crucial for effective planning and establishing management arrangements from the start. The Regulations require the appointments to take place as soon as is practicable, after initial design work or other preparation for construction work has begun.
Our role as CDM Co-ordinator is to provide clients with a key project advisor in respect of construction health and safety risk management matters. We will advise the client on appointment of competent contractors and the adequacy of management arrangements; ensure proper Co-ordination of the health and safety aspects of the design process; facilitate good communication and co-operation between project team members and prepare the health and safety file.
