I have been asked by a building control enforcement officer in my authority about "Client" responsibilities regarding building work he has to arrange for private indivduals, on a rechargeable basis, who refuse to or are unable to carry out in order to comply with building regulations. (1)Is this domestic work and does CDM therefore not apply (obviously excepting reg 13)?
(2)Who is the Client - the property owner or the Council?
Suggestions, please??
Alan.

The Client is he who commissions the work, and in these circumstances surely this is the Council Planning/Building Control Authority.I don't think you could argue the 'domestic client'route - this applies to people who commission work on their own home- unless it was clear and could be demonstrated that you were acting on their instruction.
You certainly couldn't apply the derogation where the work is directly commissioned by the LA under 'enforcement' action.
