our services
Managing risk
We coordinate design risk management across the design team – ensuring risks are identified early before they affect safety, cost or programme. By placing safety at the forefront of design decisions and meeting agendas, we support the team in delivering well-coordinated, compliant and risk-aware designs that enable long-term project success.
CDM Advice
We provide expert CDM advice at both corporate and project level – ensuring strategic CDM and health and safety decisions are fully embedded into project delivery. Through close coordination and cooperation, we align with your goals to deliver compliant, practical solutions that benefit designers, contractors and end users alike.
Our tailored approach enables us to develop bespoke CDM policies and procedures that support all duty holders; including clients, principal designers, designers, and principal contractors in understanding, discharging and maintaining their legal responsibilities with confidence.
Competency Assessment for CDM Duty Holders
We help ensure the right people are in the right roles, with the skills, knowledge, experience and organisational capability to meet their CDM responsibilities. Our robust competency assessments give clients confidence that all duty holders, including principal designers, designers, and principal contractors, are suitably qualified and capable of delivering safe, compliant projects.
Whether you’re appointing new teams or reviewing existing arrangements, we provide a structured, transparent process that supports sound decision-making and protects project outcomes from day one.
Construction Health and Safety Auditing
We provide independent, expert health and safety audits to help you maintain high standards on site and meet your legal obligations. Our audits offer a clear, objective view of how well health and safety systems are working in practice, identifying gaps, highlighting good practice and supporting continuous improvement.
Whether for clients, principal contractors, or duty holders, our audits are tailored to your project or organisational needs and ensure compliance with CDM regulations and wider health and safety legislation.
