The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) came into force on 6 April 2015, replacing CDM 2007. It is essential that as construction professionals we understand the different roles we play and obligations under legislation as well as more widely to clients, other construction professionals and to the public wherever they may be effected by our decisions and management.
We regularly undertake the role of principal designer, and overarching role coordinating the pre-construction aspects of health and safety. We also provide pure design roles and were recently asked how we ensure we meet our responsibilities as designers under Regulation 9 of CDM 2015.
