CDM
The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 are a major departure from their 2007 forbearers and place much greater responsibilities on the Client and on the Principal Designer where very little formal requirement existed previously. The Regulations focus heavily on these “Duty-Holders” and their responsibilities within the management of any project – even very small projects. Long O Donnell Associates have been involved in CDM from the earliest days and are well placed to provide advice and support for both Client and Principal Designers in the fulfilment of their “Duties”.
