Hi,
I have a client who has nominated us as principal contractor. However, when arriving on site, we find that other aspects of the building work have been awarded to other contractors who are already on site.
Our programme impedes with theirs, and can see problems arising. The existing welfare facilities we were planning to use, are to be stripped out by the other company, and a scaffolding is erected to the front elevation for roofing repairs, which was not there at the pre start.
I think I know the answer to this, but under com, and in the eyes of the authorities, what should happen here to make the site compliant?
Is it possible to establish a principal contractor to be responsible for their own works, whilst others are working on the same site?
Again, I know the answer, but looking for other opinions.

There are lots of issues here the way the project is being managed.
The spirit of CDM is about communication and co-operation between all interested parties - this appears not to be the case. The client should have advised the PC the current status of the project through start up meeting and by providing a current CPP as well as the PD providing information to the PC.
You as the PC are responsible for other contractors on the designated work site. However without extra information which does not appear evident in your post I would refuse to accept the appointment of PC until all these matters are ironed out.
