In the ever-evolving world of construction, the safety and well-being of all involved are paramount. The Construction Phase Plan stands as a testament to the industry's commitment to responsible practices. By clearly outlining risks, responsibilities, and safety measures, the CPP creates a framework that ensures projects are not just built, but built safely and in accordance with legal requirements.

A Principal Designer under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM Regs) is a person or organization appointed by the client to plan, manage, and monitor the pre-construction phase of a project to ensure that health and safety risks are identified and controlled. They are responsible for coordinating the work of all designers involved in the project and ensuring that the design is safe and compliant with the CDM Regs. They also have a duty to provide information, instruction, and training to other designers and the construction team to ensure that the project is constructed in accordance with the design.

Just because a project is small, doesn’t mean you can forget about CDM. It still applies, and it is important to be familiar with the requirements and your duties.
