Common questions

Questions about this service.

Does CDM apply to FMCG warehouse fit-out projects?

Yes. Many warehouse fit-out, refurbishment and upgrade projects fall within CDM where construction work is taking place, particularly when more than one contractor is involved.

When do I need a Principal Contractor on an FMCG warehouse project?

A Principal Contractor is required where more than one contractor is involved, and the role is especially important in live warehouse environments where the construction phase needs active coordination.

Why is CDM particularly important in FMCG warehouses?

FMCG environments often involve high throughput, tight operational pressures and multiple interfaces between works and ongoing activity, so safe planning and coordination matter greatly.

Can KTCS act as Principal Contractor on an FMCG fit-out?

Yes. Where appropriate, KTCS can act as Principal Contractor and help manage the construction phase, site coordination and compliance requirements.

Can works still be phased in a live FMCG environment?

Yes. In many cases phased delivery is the most practical way to reduce disruption and maintain safe operations while fit-out works are carried out.
