This question has probably been dealt with before but regarding the new CDM regs:
How many duties can one person discharge?
As a project co-ordinator I am being asked to fill the roles of Client, CDM co-ordinator and Designer.

Also Can a person take on the role of Principle contractor if they are not a contractor and do not carry out construction work.

Robert,

No I am not a developer.

I work for a manufacturing company who wish to project manange a construction project in-house (i.e. appoint designers, a CDM co-ordinator and a principle contractor, whose only duty will be to site supervise the construction phase, from within the company and contract out the construction to a number of different companies)

Still the same remit, I reckon, and all applicable if notifiable. Is it?
Your Co should address areas of competence expectations though. From what you have written it would appear that you may have adequate in house levels of competence to over- see and manage a construction. But is there also the neccessary experience? If it were me and it was notifiable, I would appoint a PC, you coordinate, design and approve through the in-house team. One point though-------from the safety management point of view. Are there sufficient "skills" in-house that would address that issue?
If all self appointed then you may well receive visits from HSE if you decide to notify. Good luck.

2nd question ---------I reckon--------yes, providing the PC has the neccessary experience and competence to manage / construct whatever it it is that is being construced.
CDM 07 is not just only about bricks and mortar!!
