Our services
The Principal Designer under CDM 2015 is responsible for managing and coordinating health and safety during the design stage of a construction project. The role focuses on identifying and reducing risks early, working closely with the design team to ensure safety is built into the design from the outset.
This service helps clients meet their legal duties, supports safer construction, and contributes to smoother project delivery.
The Principal Designer under the Building Safety Act supports dutyholders in managing building safety risks, particularly on higher-risk buildings. The role ensures that building safety is properly considered, coordinated, and clearly documented throughout the design process.
This service helps dutyholders meet their legal obligations and supports a clear, compliant approach to building safety from design through to completion.
As CDM Advisors, we support Clients in meeting their duties under the CDM Regulations 2015 by providing clear, practical health and safety advice. The role focuses on guidance and support throughout the project but does not carry the statutory responsibilities of the Principal Designer unless formally appointed to that role.
We provide structured support to plan, coordinate, and deliver construction projects from start to finish. The role focuses on managing programmes, budgets, risks, and communication to ensure projects are delivered efficiently and to the client’s requirements.
Effective project management helps keep projects on track, supports informed decision-making, and provides clients with clear oversight and confidence throughout the project lifecycle.
Our Health & Safety Support Services provide practical advice and ongoing support to help organisations manage risks and meet their legal health and safety responsibilities. This includes developing sensible systems, reviewing working practices, and supporting teams to create safer working environments.
In construction and the built environment, effective health and safety support helps reduce accidents, protect people, and ensure projects and operations are carried out safely and compliantly.
We are able to support organisations in achieving and maintaining Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) accreditation. The service helps businesses demonstrate that their health and safety arrangements meet recognised industry standards.
Support typically includes reviewing existing policies and procedures, identifying any gaps, and guiding organisations through the application or renewal process—helping to save time, reduce stress, and improve compliance.
