 Planned CDM Co-ordination 
The Construction Design and Management Regulations 2007 (CDM Regulations) are aimed at improving the management, control and co-ordination of health, safety and welfare through the construction industry to reduce fatalities, major accidents and ill health that occurs in the industry. The CDM Regulations affect almost all aspects of construction, including associated preparations, cleaning, maintenance and demolition. As well as installation, commissioning and decommissioning of fixed plant. Heritage Surveying can provide advice on whether or not the CDM Regulations apply to your project and if it is necessary to notify to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The CDM Regulations place duties on all parties (clients, designers and contractors) involved, to contribute to the health and safety of a construction site. The regulations state that the principal duties of the client are:
To select and appoint a competent CDM Co-ordinator. To select and appoint competent designers. To select and appoint a competent principal contractor. To be satisfied that the CDM Co-ordinator, designers and principal contractor are competent and will allow adequate resources for Health and Safety.

To ensure construction work does not commence until the principal contractor has prepared a satisfactory Construction Phase Health & Safety Plan. To ensure the Health & Safety File is available for inspection by others, after completion of the project. To allow all parties sufficient time to fulfill their duties under the regulations.
