CDM 2015 advice

Know your duty. Know what good looks like.

Proportionate CDM support that helps dutyholders understand what they need to do, what information should exist and where a project is exposed.

From planning to handover

Make CDM practical.

CDM compliance should shape how a project is planned and managed—not become paperwork assembled after decisions have already been made. We help clients and delivery teams identify duties, information gaps and sensible evidence.

Clients can begin with the CDM 2015 client duties checklist and pre-construction information checklist.

  • Dutyholder and appointment guidance
  • Pre-construction information review and development
  • Construction phase plan support
  • Design-risk and coordination discussions
  • Contractor competence and capability review
  • Health and safety file planning and review
  • Remote project compliance health checks

For clients

Understand appointments, information requirements and how to monitor arrangements.

For principal contractors

Turn project information into practical mobilisation and management arrangements.

For contractors

Provide proportionate plans, RAMS and evidence for the part of the work you control.

Common questions

Before you put it on our desk.

Does CDM 2015 apply to every construction project?

CDM 2015 applies to construction work in Great Britain, including projects for domestic clients. The appointments and notification requirements vary with the project and number of contractors.

Who appoints the principal designer and principal contractor?

The client must make these appointments in writing where a project involves, or is likely to involve, more than one contractor. Appointments should be made as early as practicable.

Can you act as Principal Designer?

The Principal Designer must be a designer as defined by CDM and have control over the pre-construction phase, along with suitable skills, knowledge and experience. We first review the project and proposed role before confirming what support is appropriate.
