CDM 2015 PRINCIPAL DESIGNER IN BRACKNELL FOR SUPPORT WITH CONSTRUCTION PHASE PLANNING
When planning a construction project in Bracknell, you cannot afford to treat health and safety as an afterthought. Under Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, you will have clear, legal duties. Appointing a competent CDM 2015 Principal Designer is one of the most important steps you can take during the planning phase.
M.L.A. trades as experienced CDM advisors and fire risk assessors in Bracknell, supporting clients or contractors from concept through to completion. Whether you are refurbishing a commercial unit, or are delivering a new development, we plan properly from the first day.
A CDM Principal Designer does far more than complete paperwork.
We coordinate health and safety during pre-construction phases and ensure risks are identified, and controlled, before any work begins.
CDM PRINCIPAL DESIGNERS AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE PLANNING
Construction phase planning is about far more than the production of documents, It is also about understanding the project, the key risks involved, and how all identified risks will then be managed onsite.
As a CDM 2015 Principal Designer in Bracknell, M.L.A. will:
- Review designs to identify potential health and safety risks
- Ensure designers eliminate or reduce risks at source
- Coordinate information between all key stakeholders
- Assist in preparing and reviewing construction phase plans
- Provide pre-construction information to all contractors
- Ensure arrangements remain suitable as each project develops
For example, if a project involves structural alteration, demolition or a complex installation, we assess how the activities interact. Is there a shared access route? Is there an added risk of fire if there are hot works required? Are there any vulnerable occupants nearby?
Address these issues early to avoid delays and enforcement action.
THE ROLE OF FIRE RISK ASSESSORS IN CONSTRUCTION PLANNING
Fire safety should be considered from the design stage, not once the build is finished. This is where a qualified fire risk assessor adds real value to planning in construction. M.L.A. operates in Bracknell as both CDM advisors and fire risk assessors. This combined approach means we can look at projects holistically, not in reductional ways.
We consider:
- Temporary fire arrangements during construction
- Storage of combustible materials
- Means of escape for workers
- Fire detection and alarm provisions
- Compliance with current fire safety legislation
During refurbishment projects in an occupied building, the role of a fire risk assessor becomes even more critical. You must protect both workers and building users. We assess how construction activities affect escape routes, compartmentation and fire protection systems.
If a construction phase plan does not address fire precautions, you are exposed to more serious risk. A proactive fire risk assessor in Bracknell, with a CDM Principal Designer, helps you to avoid this.
CHOOSING M.L.A. AS CDM ADVISORS
Bracknell continues to see commercial growth and redevelopment. With this comes greater scrutiny from the Health and Safety Executive and from local authorities. CDM advisors will let you know if a project will require a CDM Principal Designer, a fire risk assessor or both.
Appoint M.L.A. as a CDM 2015 Principal Designer in Bracknell for the best advice. We explain your duties in plain English and can offer a practical solution that focuses on what works on construction sites. Ongoing support keeps us involved far beyond the appointment stage.
Many clients are unsure what a CDM Principal Designer actually does.
Ask yourself:
- Who is coordinating risk between architects and contractors?
- Who is checking the Construction Phase Plan is suitable?
- Who is ensuring fire risks are assessed before works begin?
If you cannot answer questions confidently, you need CDM advisors.
