CDM Planning Consultants

CDM 2015 compliance, Construction Phase Plans and accreditation support

What we do

Discharging CDM 2015 duties with confidence

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 place clear, enforceable duties on every party involved in a UK construction project — and getting CDM right is fundamental to legal compliance, project safety and reputation. MI&A’s CDM consultants help clients, designers and contractors understand and discharge those duties at every stage of the project, from concept design through to demolition.

We act as Client CDM Advisor, Principal Designer support, and as an independent assurance partner to principal contractors. Whether your project is a small refurbishment or a multi-phase development, we tailor our involvement to the risk profile of the works — ensuring the right documents, the right competency, and the right level of co-ordination are all in place.

Our approach

Our four-stage CDM 2015 framework

CDM compliance is most effective when it is built into the project from day one — not bolted on later. Our four-stage framework ensures every duty holder understands their role, every hazard is identified and reduced at source, and every document is in place when the regulator (or your insurer) asks for it.

STAGE 01

Set up

Duty holder assignment, CDM strategy, project documents.

STAGE 02

Design

Designer risk workshops, PCI, hazard reduction at source.

STAGE 03

Construction

CPP review, audits, change control, F10 updates.

STAGE 04

Handover

H&S File, defects period, lessons learned, post-completion review.
