Construction safety

Exemplary principal designers providing construction design and management advice

Extensive legislation and regulations accompany construction work. A Principal Designer (PD) has two very separate roles, one is concerned with ensuring legal compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015). The other, compliance with the Building Safety Act 2022 (BSA 2022) and Building Regulations 2010 (as amended 2023) and the Higher-Risk Buildings Regulations 2023 (BR 2010/2023). Construction Design and Management Advisors (CDMA) support and advise clients on compliance with CDM 2015.

Managing concerns

Poor safety culture and a lack of regulatory understanding (both CDM and BSA) puts organisations and individuals at risk. EDP provides highly qualified and experienced health, safety and building consultants and supports clients in managing and mitigating risks, engendering confidence that all relevant regulations and legislation are followed.

Working collaboratively

A collaborative approach with clients and design teams is essential to achieving a successful project outcome. Thanks to our expertise in CDM Regulations and Building Regulations, we consistently work in compliance with these regulations and offer training to in-house teams about regulatory compliance.

We offer PD, PDA and CDMA services as part of a wider scope of work, which includes structural maintenance and repair, building surveying, architecture design and town planning. These services are offered as part of an integrated solution, enabling clients to dedicate their full attention to other areas of their project, safe in the knowledge that we are providing a comprehensive, high-quality service.

We ensure these key requirements are met, through dedicated professionals providing expert support services, where buildings are designed with safe construction and management as a priority.
