CDM Consultancy Services FAQs

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM Regulations) set out legal guidelines for managing health and safety in UK construction projects. They apply to all types of construction work and assign responsibilities to duty holders, such as clients, designers, and contractors, to ensure risks are managed from project inception to completion.
Yes, the CDM Regulations 2015 apply to all construction projects in the UK, regardless of size or type. These regulations cover every stage, from pre-construction through to the construction site and completion, ensuring all duty holders fulfil their safety responsibilities.
CDM responsibilities are the duties assigned to clients, designers, Principal Designers, Principal Contractors, and contractors under the CDM Regulations 2015. Clients ensure the project is carried out safely, designers integrate safety into their plans, Principal Designers manage safety during the pre-construction phase, and Principal Contractors oversee health and safety during the construction phase.
A CDM Advisor is a specialist who provides guidance to clients, designers, and contractors on how to manage health and safety in compliance with the CDM Regulations. They assist in ensuring safety protocols are followed from the design phase to the construction site and help duty holders meet their responsibilities.
A CDM Advisor is particularly useful for larger or high-risk projects or when in-house expertise on health and safety is limited. They provide valuable support in managing CDM compliance, ensuring safety measures are in place from the pre-construction phase through to completion.
Not every project requires a CDM consultant, but larger or more complex projects benefit from their expertise in managing compliance and safety. Even for smaller projects, a consultant ensures all safety bases are covered.
The Principal Designer coordinates health and safety during the design phase of a project. They work closely with designers, contractors, and clients to identify and manage potential risks before construction begins.
Site inspections should be carried out regularly throughout the project to ensure compliance with safety regulations. The frequency depends on the size and complexity of the project, but routine inspections help catch and address issues early.
Non-compliance with CDM can lead to serious consequences, including fines, legal action, and potential site shutdowns. A CDM consultant helps you avoid these risks by ensuring the project remains compliant with all safety standards.
Common CDM risks include falls from height, structural collapses, exposure to hazardous substances, and injuries caused by electrical systems or manual handling. The CDM Regulations aim to manage these risks by embedding safety practices from the start of the project.
Key changes in the CDM 2015 Regulations include replacing the CDM Coordinator with the Principal Designer, extending the regulations to cover domestic projects, and requiring every project to have a Construction Phase Plan. These changes focus on integrating health and safety into the project earlier and more thoroughly.
