CDM REGULATIONS - PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
As your Principal Designer under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM), AJR Building Consultancy ensures your project meets with health and safety requirements from inception to completion. Our role is to plan, manage and coordinate health and safety aspects of your project during the pre-construction phase, ensuring risks are identified and appropriately mitigated during the design stage.
We will ensure collaboration with designers, contractors and clients to ensure that the design process incorporates best practices for safety and regulatory compliance both during construction and upon completion. We assess potential risks, communicate safety responsibilities and ensure that health and safety considerations are integrated into every decision made during the design and planning phases.
Our services include preparing and reviewing pre-construction information, ensuring effective communication between all parties and coordinating design work to reduce risks during construction and when the building is in-use. We also co-ordinate and manage the preparation of the health and safety file, which is essential for the long-term management and maintenance of the building.
​
At AJR Building Consultancy we are committed to ensuring your project is not only successful but also fully compliant with CDM regulations. Let us help you create safer, smarter projects with our CDM Principal Designer services.

RISK MANAGEMENT
During the design phase of a project, we ensure that design solutions eliminate, reduce or control risks to health and safety throughout the project's lifecycle, including during construction and following handover for associated maintenance activities.

We coordinate with design teams to ensure identified health and safety considerations are integrated into their designs.
HEALTH AND SAFETY FILE
Upon project completion and handover, we ensure the health and safety file is produced and provided to you as the end-user of the building. This contains essential information needed for future maintenance, repair or future construction work on the completed building.
