Discuss your requirementConstruction-focused support
Clear advice connected to project delivery.
Our CDM Principal Designer service is built around active coordination, not a nominal appointment. We support clients, developers, architects and engineers with the CDM 2015 pre-construction phase: confirming duty-holder arrangements, reviewing pre-construction information, coordinating foreseeable design risks and maintaining a clear audit trail. Support is proportionate to the project and connected to the design programme, procurement route and construction interfaces across Watford, Hertfordshire and London.
Support is provided directly by a construction health and safety consultant and aligned with applicable UK legislation, HSE guidance and the project's own management arrangements.

Frequently asked questions
What clients ask about cdm principal designer.
When is a CDM Principal Designer required?
A client must appoint a Principal Designer in writing where a construction project involves more than one contractor, or where it is reasonably foreseeable that more than one contractor will work on the project. The appointment must be made as soon as practicable and, in any event, before the construction phase begins.
Is the CDM Principal Designer the same as the Building Regulations Principal Designer?
No. The CDM 2015 Principal Designer coordinates health and safety during the pre-construction phase. The Building Regulations Principal Designer is a separate duty-holder role concerned with compliance with building regulations.
Can you support an existing design team?
Yes. We can work with the client, architect, engineers and specialist designers to establish a proportionate design-risk coordination process and clear audit trail.
Do you provide CDM Principal Designer support in London and Hertfordshire?
Yes. We support clients and project teams in Watford, Hertfordshire, London and the wider South East, with the scope agreed around the project's size, complexity, programme and design interfaces.
