This may sound trivial and have no bearing on regulatory compliance but we have engaged as CDM adviser to a Principal Designer, we have been tasked with developing the Pre-Construction Information on their behalf and in doing so have presented the contents on our logo stationary. The PD have insisted we use their logo as the contents of the PCI are legally binding and therefore required to be embossed with their logo.
In all honesty this sounds petty and trivial, but has anybody else found themselves in a similar scenario and if so what was the outcome.
Any replies would be appreciated.
Regards,
Damian

If they are paying your fees then it sounds reasonable that they would like their corporate branding on the document. I have produced construction management plans for planning submissions and the client always requested their own logo be used rather than our own. If they`re paying the bills then they can have Mickey Mouse on the front as far as I`m concerned (copyright issues aside).
As for them assuming that the document having their logo rather than yours would have any legal standing I am less certain of. If they are named as PD inside the PCI document, have a written contract with the client, are named as PD on the f10 then I doubt whoever`s logo was actually on the stationary would matter too much from a legal perspective.

Provision of pre-construction information is a CDM CLIENT duty! Reg4(4)
