The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 are far reaching and significant for anyone who has a role to play in a construction project: Clients, Designers, Principal Designers, Contractors or Principal Contractors. This is essential to understand the new duties , notification requirements and documentation. Big changes in the legislation from CDM 2007 mean that a good understanding is essential.

The course will give an overview of the origins of the legislation, the reasons behind the changes and the objectives of the Regulations, also examining the relationship between the duty holders and the need for cooperation between Principal Designer and Principal Contractor. Domestic projects are also included within the scope of the new regulations so the course also analyses what these changes will have on small builders who tend to work for private clients as well as those involved in commercial work
