CDM 2015 Advice / Principal Designer
Mason Carey undertake works acting on behalf of and guiding clients through the often misunderstood world of Construction (Design and Management) Regulations.
A principal designer is a designer who is an organisation or individual (on smaller projects) appointed by the client to take control of the pre-construction phase of any project involving more than one contractor.
Principal designers have an important role in influencing how risks to health and safety are managed throughout a project. Design decisions made during the pre-construction phase have a significant influence in ensuring the project is delivered in a way that secures the health and safety of everyone affected by the work.
