CDM imposes significant duties upon the Client, including ensuring that adequate procedures are in place to manage Health & Safety throughout the project. All clients are obliged to make an early appointment to the role of ‘CDM Co-ordinator’, and the role requires them to establish the vital “thread” of health and safety from concept to completion of a project. FYNE are able to manage this process for you including;
• Notification to the Health & Safety Executive
• Working closely with the design team throughout the design and construction process, to achieve hazard elimination
• Advice and assistance with regards to management arrangements for Health & Safety
• Compiling Pre-Construction Information for provision to designers and contractors
• Advising the Client with regard to competence and adequacy of resources of those he appoints
• Advising the Client on adequacy of the Construction Phase Health and Safety Plan and welfare facilities before works commence on site
• Ensuring compilation and delivery of the Health & Safety File to the Client upon completion
Statutory Approvals
Statutory Approvals of some kind will be required on almost every project and will also form the basis of Landlord’s Licences (or Developer’s consents as necessary) The following are the main elements ;
• Proposed drawings
Prepare drawings of sufficient detail for initial submission for statutory consents, and as general indication of your requirements, in conjunction with schedule of rates and the brief.
• Building Regulations
Submit drawings and liaise with nominated approver. Update/improve drawings as services etc. become available form contractors. Integrate necessary ongoing changes into refit project via the contractor.
• Town Planning and Display of Advertisements
Prepare and submit forms, drawings and application fees for statutory approvals. Consult and negotiate with planning officers as required.
• Landlords / Developers approvals
Submit drawings and any additional information for landlord’s approval via your nominated legal agent. Negotiate with Landlords as required, making judgements on extent of feasible work within project constraints and report back to client for direction.
