Hi all,
Not having had much experience with CDM thus far, would a metal/glass/wooden room on a mezzanine inside an existing building fall under CDM? 7 metres x 5 metres housing testing equipment in an educational facility owned and used by a 3rd party. They would be the client and we would be principal contractor.
Any advice gratefully received.

You have posted your question in the wrong forum area.
I assume you mean you are having the described room built/constructed?
While you haven't given too much information - yes CDM will apply. CDM and the definition of 'construction' is very broad.
You will also need a Principal Designer appointing by the client. Give me a call if you want any help with that.
From the information, your project doesn't sound like it will be modifiable to the HSE.

Ah, yes. My mistake (obviously). Thanks Ian. We might actually be building it for someone else via 3rd party supplier if that makes any difference.

Ok. Nevertheless, whoever is the Client under CDM is obliged to appoint both a Principal Designer and Principal Contractor.
Previously auto correct error 'notifiable' to the HSE.
Possibly interested in the PD bit.

Unlikely to be notifiable and if only one contractor required then would not need a Principal Designer and Principal Contractor, though similar documentation needed to comply with other legislative requirements. Suggest download L153 from HSE website. To a large extent this is all going to hand around whether you have all the trades in house to do the full installation including services.

Very true about the PD/single contractor issue. In my experience very few projects are truly single contractor, only very small glorified in house maintenance jobs that I have seen.
Even a small job like this sounds like it will need
Electrical
IT fitment of cables etc as it's a training room
Floor/carpet fitters
Glass fitters/someone to erect the walls.
If all in house, ok.
