Does a housing association /social landlord running several planned works projects for the replacement of various property components (Kitchens, Bathrooms, Fire remedial works, Cyclical Dec’s etc.) require an F10 for each of the project it delivers?   

Each individual unit (i.e. a kitchen replacement in one property) whilst it still falls under CDM doesn’t require an F10 on its own, however housing associations tender for a financial year or more of delivery so can be continually working every day of the year exceeding the 500 man hours for the project itself, but never more than this for each individual site. 

Each property is invoiced individaully as a completed project in its own right.  The tender contract however can be for the delivery of 100's of units over a period of time spread over a large geographical area.

Is there a requirement for an F10 to be submitted for this type of project?

IMO it all depends on the Pre construction information.  Issued by the Principal Designer.

If a PCI for each individual project there may be no requirement for F10. 

If a single PCI for the whole project including every individual unit then a F10 will probably be required. Issued by the PD.

As said above, it depends if each unit is a separate job or not. I would say that if for example 100 properties are let for refurb as part of a ine contract then yes CDM and an F 10 will apply because it is the same principle as a new development of 100 new builds. But if you have any doubts on this just ring the HSE and request a call back from your local inspector, they are actually really helpful and appreciate people asking them for help.

Under CDM 2015 the client (HA in this case?) defines the project and may choose to treat each property as an individual project and hence not notifiable or treat all properties as one project and notify HSE. The regulator is likely to be indifferent as to which approach you take and will be more interested in assurance that the work is properly planned, managed and monitored.
