Howatt Consulting provides professional Principal Designer services in accordance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM). We support clients in managing health and safety risks during the pre-construction and design phases of their projects.
We work collaboratively with designers, contractors, and stakeholders to identify and eliminate risks early in the design process. Our role includes planning, managing, and monitoring health and safety, coordinating communication between project parties, and ensuring compliance with CDM regulations.
We also assist in preparing and reviewing pre-construction information and developing the Health and Safety File, ensuring that critical safety information is maintained throughout the lifecycle of the building.
Why You Need a Principal Designer
Under CDM Regulations, appointing a Principal Designer is a legal requirement for projects involving more than one contractor. Failing to appoint a competent Principal Designer can lead to legal consequences and increased risk on site. More importantly, early risk management helps prevent accidents, reduces delays, and improves overall project outcomes.
