CDM Principal Designer

Effective design coordination and risk management are essential to safe construction delivery. As Principal Designer, we help clients and design teams identify, reduce, and manage risk from the earliest stages of a scheme.

We lead design risk reviews, coordinate duty holder responsibilities, maintain risk information, and ensure CDM requirements are met throughout the project. Our approach is proactive, collaborative, and focused on designing‑out risk wherever possible.
