CDM Advisor

Expert support to help you achieve full compliance with the CDM 2015 Regulations. We help clients, designers and contractors understand their duties, prepare essential CDM documents and manage health and safety risks from start to finish.

How We Help

We provide expert CDM Advisor support from the initial concept to final handover, helping clients and dutyholders meet their legal duties under CDM 2015. Our approach ensures your projects are safer and run more smoothly. Key services include: project briefs and risk communication, HSE notifications, competence checks, pre-construction information, construction phase readiness and ongoing monitoring.

  • Project briefs and risk communication: We ensure designers and contractors understand significant site risks from the start.
  • HSE notifications: We handle required notifications and provide advice on dutyholder appointments and client responsibilities.
  • Competence checks: We review the competence of designers, contractors, and key suppliers, with clear feedback on any gaps.
  • Construction phase readiness: We help you prepare for the construction phase, including welfare arrangements and a review of the Construction Phase Plan.
  • Fire risk management: We identify fire safety requirements for live projects, review temporary fire precautions, and help ensure compliance with Building Safety Act and Fire Safety Order duties.
  • Ongoing monitoring: We provide continuous support with compliance reviews, feedback, and action tracking throughout the project.
  • Site inspections and audits: We deliver concise, traffic-light reports that clearly prioritise actions.
  • Alignment with the Building Safety Act: We ensure your project aligns with the new act where relevant, including competence expectations for the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor.

What Our Approach Means for You:

  • It is the law: CDM requires clients to plan, manage, and monitor projects. We help you meet your duties and evidence compliance.
  • Fewer accidents and incidents: Our focus on early risk planning and practical controls helps reduce harm on site.
  • Smoother delivery: With clear roles, competent teams, and good information, we help you cut delays and rework.
  • Stronger assurance: Our documented oversight, audits, and action logs provide strong evidence to regulators and insurers.
