ABOUT 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.

DO I NEED A CDM ADVISOR?
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.

REGULATIONS & DUTIES
CDM (2015) GENERAL INFORMATION
The key change in the CDM Regulations 2015 is the dropping of the CDM Co-ordinator role created under CDM 2007 and the creation of the principal designer who will be a member of the design team.
The core technical standards set out in the new Regulations remain essentially unchanged from those in CDM 2007; the majority of change relates to the management of projects determined by the revised roles and duties of the client, principal designer, principal contractor, designers and contractors.
Notification to the HSE under CDM 2015 is still required for projects that will exceed 500 person days, or have more than 20 persons working on projects lasting more than 30 days.
