Principal Designer Services under CDM 2015 Regulations

Under CDM 2015 regulations, the Principal Designer holds primary responsibility for managing health and safety during the pre-construction phase. However, their role extends to supporting both the Client and Principal Contractor throughout the construction phase, ensuring a safe and compliant project from start to finish.

Who Can Act as a Principal Designer?

It’s common for an Architect or another Designer to take on the role of Principal Designer. However, they may lack the time, resources, or expertise to fulfill the duties effectively. That’s where our specialised services come in.

Comprehensive Principal Designer Packages

Our tailored Principal Designer package is designed to meet your project’s needs and ensure full compliance with CDM 2015. Services include:

    • Advising on, compiling and presenting the Pre-Construction Information.
    • Undertaking project notification and updates.
    • Attending project/design meetings.
    • Reviewing Design Risk Assessments and other health and safety documentation.
    • Reviewing the Construction Phase Plan (we are also able to compile the document if required).
    • Conducting site audit(s) and providing compliance reports.
    • Regular communication with duty holders.
    • Advising on and compiling the Health and Safety File.
    • Ensuring all CDM 2015 obligations are met during every phase of the project.

Principal Designer Advisory Role

When an Architect or another party has already been appointed as Principal Designer, we can step in as advisors. Acting in a Principal Designer Advisory capacity, we take on the core responsibilities on your behalf – helping to ensure the project runs smoothly and safely, while easing the burden on your team.

Integrated Health & Safety Solutions

Our CDM Principal Designer Advisory package is normally combined with our CDM Advisory package for Clients. It can also be combined with our Health & Safety package for Principal Contractors. This ensures seamless communication and efficiency between all duty holders minimising health and safety risks.

This integrated approach minimises health and safety risks, fosters collaboration among duty holders, and ensures compliance across all stages of the project.
