CDM Coordinator

When should I appoint a CDM Coordinator?

A CDM Coordinator must be appointed for every construction project that will last longer than 30 days, or 500 person days, except where the work is for a domestic client.

Domestic clients are people who have work done on their own home or the home of a family member, that does not relate to a trade or business.

The early appointment of a CDM Co-ordinator enables procedures to be put in place which get the project of to a good start.

The appointment of the CDM Coordinator should take place once the initial design has begun, once the project moves to the detailed design stage hazards become a lot more difficult to deal with and eliminate.
