The
Construction Design & Management Regulations
The Construction
Design and Management Regulations require that all hazards associated with any
particular development are fully assessed at the design stage and encompassed
within a Health and Safety plan; the plan is produced by a Planning
Supervisor. This plan is eventually
taken over by the principal contractor who then develops and updates the plan
as the works progresses. At the end of
the project the Planning Supervisor in conjunction with the principal
contractor produces a Health and Safety file.
This acts as a detailed record of the works undertaken. Domestic clients are usually exempt from
these requirements but the rules may still apply if an insurance company is
involved. Depending upon the various
terms of appointment the insurance company may be considered to be the client
for CDM purposes and the provisions of the Act would then apply.
Our aim is to
provide an efficient professional service at competitive prices. The basis of our fees will always be agreed
before any costs are incurred and we will identify exactly what is included in
our package of services. We are
prepared to invoice on a ‘lump sum’ fee basis, a percentage fee basis or at
hourly charge rates. There are no
hidden surprises. Travelling and
general disbursement costs are usually included.
Please contact us
if we can be of assistance.
