CONSTRUCTION (DESIGN & MANAGEMENT) REGULATIONS 2015

We have extensive CDM 2015 experience and can act as Principal Contractor or Contractor on construction projects if required. We believe a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the participants on construction projects plus a comprehensive and specific Construction Phase Plan on all our major works projects is key to our construction success.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE PLANS (CPP)

We always ensure the Construction Phase Plan is approved before construction works start and that it includes the project safety statement and arrangements for us to effectively manage health and safety.

PRINCIPAL CONTRACTOR

When appointed as the Principal Contractor, we ensure that we plan, manage, monitor, and coordinate the construction phase of a project. This includes:

  • Liaising with the client and principal designer
  • Preparing the construction phase plan
  • Organising cooperation between contractors and coordinating their work

Acting in the capacity of Principal Contractor, it is also our responsibility for ensuring that:

  • Suitable site inductions are provided
  • Reasonable steps are taken to prevent unauthorised access to the site
  • Ensuring workers are consulted and engaged in securing their health and safety
  • Welfare facilities are provided

PRINCIPAL DESIGNER

When appointed as the Principal Designers we ensure that we plan, manage, monitor, and coordinate the pre-construction phase of a project by:

  • Identifying, eliminating, or controlling foreseeable risks
  • Ensuring other designers (associated with the project) carry out their duties
  • Prepare and provide relevant information to other duty holders associated with the project
  • Liaise with the Principal Contractor to assist in planning, management, monitoring and coordination of the construction phase
