CDM Compliance Services

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, also known as CDM Regulations or CDM 2015, which came into force on 6 April 2015, are regulations governing the way construction projects of all sizes and types are planned. CDM 2015 is the latest update to the regulations that aim to improve the overall health, safety and welfare of those working in construction. The regulations define what construction works are and everyone who have health & safety duties during the planning and construction of a project, including home maintenance and improvement works.

Here at Eryri Consulting Limited, we provide CDM compliance services for Clients, Designers, Principal Contractors and Contractors / Builders.
