Principal Designers

The Health & Safety Executive state that ‘Principal designers have an important role in influencing how risks to health and safety are managed throughout a project. Design decisions made during the pre-construction phase have a significant influence in ensuring the project is delivered in a way that secures the health and safety of everyone affected by the work.’

Our qualified team of Principal Designers ensure our clients CDM obligations are met by advising, planning, preparing and delivering the pre-construction phase of the project. In our role as Principal Designer we provide the following:

• Ensure the client is aware of their duties under CDM Regulations (NI) 2016
• Plan, manage, monitor and coordinate pre-construction health and safety matters
• Identify, eliminate or control foreseeable risks
• Ensure all Designers comply with their duties
• Ensure all Parties cooperate with each other
• Liaise with the Principal Contractor and share relevant information
• Provide Pre-Construction Information
• Prepare the Health and Safety File
