Designers must risk assess their design, apply the principles of prevention when designing, and communicate this to the principal designer. They can either be a business or individual, who covers the preparation or modification of designs for construction projects, or the organisation and instruction of others to undertake such tasks – drawings, design details, specifications, bills of quantity, and design calculations.
Designers may include architects, consulting engineers, quantity surveyors, or individuals who specify and modify designs in the course of their work. This category can even extend to tradespeople. The primary responsibility of a designer is to eliminate, reduce, or manage foreseeable risks that may arise during construction work or in the subsequent use and maintenance of the building once it is constructed.
Based in Hampshire, we work across the south of England, and often travel outside of this area. If you’re a designer and would like to know more about our CDM advisory and coordination service, please get in touch using the form below.
