Dear All, As a fit-out contractor we are currently tendering for a project (not yet won). The proposed start date for work on site is 28/04 As the Client has already appointed a CDM-C and the project, from the client's point of view, has already started, albeit no one is on site until April 28th, am I correct in thinking this project will proceed under CDM 2007 even though we won't start on site until after 6th April ? (End date proposed as end of June) Cheers Andy

From http://www.hse.gov.uk/co...m/regulation-changes.htm "If the CDM co-ordinator has already been appointed, a principal designer must be appointed to replace the CDM co-ordinator by 6 October 2015, unless the project comes to an end before then. In the period it takes to appoint the principal designer, the appointed CDM co-ordinator should comply with the duties contained in Schedule 4 to the new CDM 2015 Regulations. These duties reflect the existing requirements under CDM 2007 for the CDM co-ordinator rather than requiring CDM co-ordinators to act as principal designers, a role for which they may not be equipped."
