Our experienced Principal Designer team supports the project team in compliance with the CDM Regulations from the concept design stage to completion. We will advise the client on compliance with the duties under the regulations and ensure that all the required steps are completed on the project.
Our Principal Designers work within the design team to eliminate Health and Safety risks in the proposed designs, to ensure that the project can be delivered safely during the construction phase and will be safe for future maintenance and repair activities.
The appointment of a Principal Designer must be undertaken as early in a project as possible to allow sufficient time for the collection of information for the compliance with the Health and Safety law and the protection of workers. Our Principal Designers will manage this process, review all information supplied, identify gaps and advise the project team accordingly.
Eliminating Foreseeable Health and Safety Risks
By planning, managing, monitoring, and coordinating Health and Safety during the pre-construction phase, our Principal Designers can eliminate or reduce foreseeable Health and Safety risks. This proactive approach ensures the well-being of workers, client personnel, the public, and maintenance contractors.
In our role, we work closely with the team, supporting effective communication and coordination to eliminate risks. We also liaise with the principal contractor during the construction phase to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.
