What is a Principal Designer under CDM?
A Principal Designer is responsible for coordinating health and safety during the design phase of a construction project. It’s a legal duty under CDM 2015.

What happens if I don’t meet CDM duties?
You could face HSE enforcement, fines, or liability in the event of an accident. We help ensure duties are met and properly documented.
Can KTCS act as both Principal Designer and Principal Contractor?
Yes, we regularly take on both roles for warehouse and logistics projects, ensuring a joined-up approach.
What’s the client’s role under CDM?
