Common questions

Questions about this service.

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.

Do I need a Principal Contractor for internal works?

Yes - CDM applies to internal fit-outs, refurbishments, and even minor construction works. We can advise on your exact obligations.

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?

The client must appoint dutyholders and make sure sufficient time and resources are available. We’ll guide you through this.
