Principal Designer Advisory Services

CDM Principal Designer & Advisory Services

Under the 2015 Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, the Principal Designer replaced the former CDM Coordinator, taking charge of planning, managing, and coordinating health and safety during pre-construction. Appointing a Principal Designer is legally required for any project with more than one contractor. This role ensures design-phase risks are identified, managed, and tailored to site-specific conditions.
