CDM Coordinators

Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007, the role of Planning Supervisor has been replaced by that of CDM Coordinator. The main responsibility under this role is to facilitate communication, coordination and cooperation prior to the construction phase and during any subsequent or ongoing design changes. This ensures the health and safety of construction operations and the fulfilment of any duties falling to the client during the construction project.
