The Construction Design and Management Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007) stipulates that key roles and accountabilities are identified for certain projects.
One of these key roles is the Construction Design and Management (CDM) Co-ordinator, whose responsibilities include advising the client of his duties, notifying the Health & Safety Executive and co-ordinating design work.
The Benefits
For projects that are notifiable under CDM 2007, it is a statutory obligation for clients to appoint a competent and adequately resourced CDM Co-ordinator, as soon as practicable after initial design work.
Using one of our experienced team to act as CDM Co-ordinator on your behalf has the following advantages:
▪ All activities required to deliver the
▪ development are coordinated between all
▪ parties — ensuring delivery on time.
▪ All stakeholders fully understand their roles
▪ under CDM 2007.
▪ Health & Safety issues have been fully and
▪ properly considered by all parties.
