CDM Advisor

Support That Keeps Your Project Compliant

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) place clear legal responsibilities on clients involved in construction projects.
However, these duties are often misunderstood—leading to gaps in compliance, increased risk, and potential enforcement action.

We provide expert CDM Advisor support to help you understand your obligations, implement suitable arrangements, and ensure your project remains fully compliant from planning through to completion.

Your Legal Duties Under CDM 2015

As a client under CDM 2015, you are legally required to:

  • Ensure suitable arrangements are in place for managing health and safety

  • Appoint competent duty holders, including a Principal Designer and Principal Contractor where required

  • Provide relevant pre-construction information

  • Ensure sufficient time and resources are allocated for the project

  • Maintain oversight of health and safety performance throughout the project

Failure to meet these responsibilities can result in enforcement action by the HSE, including fines, delays, or prosecution.

How We Support You

Our CDM Advisor service is designed to provide clear, practical guidance at every stage of your project.
We act as a trusted advisor, helping you meet your legal duties without unnecessary complexity.

Our service provides:

  • Clear guidance on your legal responsibilities under CDM 2015

  • Practical, ongoing support tailored to your project

  • Proactive risk management from the earliest stages

Who We Support

We support you by:

  • Advising on client duties and responsibilities under CDM 2015

  • Assisting with the appointment and coordination of duty holders

  • Reviewing and organising pre-construction information

  • Ensuring suitable management arrangements are in place

  • Identifying and highlighting significant project risks

  • Supporting compliance throughout the entire project lifecycle

  • Acting as a competent point of contact for all CDM-related matters

Our focus is on ensuring that compliance is not just documented—but actively managed and demonstrated.

A key part of our role is identifying and addressing significant and high-risk activities early in the project.
By ensuring risks are properly considered at the planning stage, we help prevent issues later during construction.

This proactive approach helps:

  • Reduce the likelihood of incidents and delays

  • Improve coordination between duty holders

  • Ensure legal compliance is maintained throughout

  • Protect your project from unnecessary risk exposure

We work with a range of clients who have duties under CDM 2015, including:

  • Commercial clients undertaking construction works

  • Property developers

  • Landlords managing building or refurbishment projects

  • Organisations acting as the “Client” under CDM regulations

Whether your project is large or small, we provide a level of support that matches your needs.
