Construction Design & Management Regulations

(CDM 2015)

If you are about to alter or extend a building or structure, thinking of putting up a new one or demolishing an existing one, then the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 place a number of specific duties on you.

The CDM regulations separates construction projects into two types – Commercial and Private – See the Regulation section for an explanation as to how your project is defined.

Why Do I Need CDM2015

These rules apply to you whether you are a “Domestic Client” or a “Commercial Client”

To sum up we can now say that all building works no matter how small are now covered by the law.

The Aim of CDM 2015

The aim of the CDM Regulations is to make Health & Safety an essential and integral part of the planning and management of projects and to make sure that everyone works together to reduce the risk to the Health & Safety of those who work on the construction side, who will use it as a place or work once it’s completed or who may maintain the building after completion or finally demolish it in the future.
