🎯 Four weeks, one message: CDM applies to your project and getting it right doesn't have to be complicated.

The right roles. Early appointments. Pre-construction information. Clear arrangements.

That's it. That's what puts a project and a client in a strong position.

If you're not certain where your business stands, or you want expert support from day one of your next project, we'd love to help.

📄 Pre-construction information: the document that too many CDM clients forget to prepare, until it's too late.

It's the pack of existing H&S information about your site that must go to contractors before they tender. Asbestos surveys. Utility drawings. Known structural risks. Contamination.

Without it: contractors can't price properly. Risks go unmanaged. And if something goes wrong, you're in a very hard position to defend.

Has yours been assembled and shared with everyone who needs it?

📋 Five things that will put your CDM position in order this week:

1️⃣ Map which of your projects involve construction work
2️⃣ Appoint a Principal Designer at feasibility not after planning
3️⃣ Check if you'll have more than one contractor (that triggers PD + PC)
4️⃣ Assemble pre-construction information before inviting tenders
5️⃣ Call us before the tender goes out

None of these take long. All of them matter.

"🏠 Getting an extension or loft conversion built? CDM still applies.

Domestic clients don't usually have to carry the full weight of client duties , they typically pass to the contractor, or to the PD and PC if more than one contractor is involved.

But the duties don't disappear. Someone still holds them. And knowing who and making sure they're formally in place protects everyone.

Planning a project at home? Have you had this conversation with your contractor?

📐 The Principal Designer is the most-missed CDM role and the most important to get right early.

Required whenever more than one contractor is involved. Responsible for coordinating health & safety through the design phase before anyone starts on site.

But most clients appoint the PD after the design is done. After the contractor is booked. Sometimes after work has already started.

By then, the value of the role is largely gone.

Appoint your Principal Designer at feasibility stage. Not after planning. Not after the contractor quote.

Need to know who can take this role on your project?

"📋 CDM doesn't have to be complicated — it just needs the right people in the right roles.

The five CDM duty holders:

1️⃣ Client: Commissions the work, ensures suitable arrangements
2️⃣ Principal Designer: Coordinates H&S at design stage (needed for 2+ contractors)
3️⃣ Principal Contractor: Manages the construction phase and the site
4️⃣ Designers: Eliminate risk through design, not on-site fixes
5️⃣ Contractors & workers: Carry out the work safely

Are these roles clearly assigned on your current project in writing?

"🔍 CDM requires every client to ensure 'suitable arrangements' are in place to manage health and safety through the project.

In practice that means: right people appointed, enough time allowed, pre-construction info shared, welfare in place, and a PD coordinating design-stage H&S.

Could you demonstrate all of that if the HSE turned up tomorrow?

Not sure — let's talk before it becomes an issue.

"⚠️ Most CDM failures aren't dramatic. They're a handful of small things that nobody resolved:

• No formal Principal Designer appointment
• Client duties assumed to sit with ""the contractor""
• Designers brought in after the contractor was already on site
• Pre-construction information never assembled
• Domestic clients assuming the rules don't apply

Each one alone might feel minor. Together, they leave the project and the client exposed.

These gaps are easy to close early. Hard to fix after an incident.

Not sure if yours are closed?

"❌ ""We don't need to notify the HSE , so CDM doesn't apply to us.""

We hear this a lot. And it's wrong every time.

Notification to the HSE only kicks in for larger, longer projects (30+ working days with 20+ workers, or 500+ person-days). But that threshold has nothing to do with whether CDM applies. It already does to every construction project.

If you're the client, you have duties. Whether it's a two-week fit-out or a two-year development.

Not sure what that means for your project? Ask us.

"🗒️ If your construction project started on site tomorrow, could you answer these?

1. Who is your Principal Designer and have they been appointed in writing?
2. Do you need a Principal Contractor?
3. Does a Construction Phase Plan exist?
4. Were designers involved before the contractor was booked?
5. Could you demonstrate your CDM arrangements to the HSE?

If any of those gave you pause , we can help you get clear, quickly.
