A developer is building a private house for a client so as to be used by the client for their home.
The development will be on the clients independent plot of land away from any other buildings.

Work is expected to take about 8 months. The builder tells me that it is not a notifiable project, I would have thought different.

Can somebody put me straight on this please without quoting chapter and verse of CDM regs (2007) ?

Thank you in advance.

The builder is referring to a domestic client here I suspect...

If the building is for private use only (i.e. not being sold, rented, let, having a shop put, used for private hire etc etc) then the builder is correct.

Note that CDM Regs do still apply it is just that the project is not notifiable meaning that the 5 duty holders do not exist and the client has not duties under the regulations.

I find it useful to think about the client. If it is Mr Smith building his own home then it is not notifiable, if it Mr Smith building a house to sell then it is.

I hope that I haven't rambled too much and my post helps....

Don't forget the regs potentially change on the 6th April and the roles of domestic and scope under CDM are looking like they will too.

I steered clear of the new CDM regs as it's not April yet and didn't want to confuse things!!
