The key expertise we offer to our clients
Principal Designer for CDM
Our skilled principal designers for CDM boast enhanced practical knowledge about all construction and design projects as both highly qualified health and safety experts and chartered building surveyors. We are proud to be qualified members of the Association for Project Safety (APS), as well as the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).
We provide a service that addresses our obligations, all the while independent of the designer, and offer independent and impartial help in dealing with the principal and other contractors. Taking a proactive, positive, and practical approach to implementing CDM Regulations helps us to minimise bureaucracy while never losing sight of the importance of health and safety.
CDM Client Advisor
Revised CDM Regulations introduced in 2015 saw more duties and responsibilities placed with clients, including being criminally accountable for their approach to health and safety across the life of a project. Our team of experienced and highly-skilled health and safety advisers, offer easy-to-understand advice and invaluable assistance that relieves the pressure on clients by ensuring they carry out their exact duties and comply with all required regulations.
