Posted By Telecom PTO I would appreciate any guidence with the following CDM queries: 1. Can a construction project notifiable under CDM with 1 client, 1 planning supervisor & 1 designer have 4 principle contractors nominated under the same project plan or should the responsibility be for 1 only to manage the overall construction phase of the project with the others as contractors. 2. If works are carried out under one client project(allocated budget) but at 12 different UK sites of works that some sites only take 1 day to 14 days etc, should each site be notifiable on its own merits or should it definately be notified as one project even if it is for different site working on a per site issue of work over a period of time.

Posted By peter gotch CDM very flexible as (a) Intepretation Act says that the singular can mean the plural. (b) Definition of "project" in CDM allows flexible interpretation. We have telecomms (and other) clients who treat scattered sites as single project. Also telecoms clients with multiple Principal Contractors, eg with one passing on the baton as they move on to the next location. eg Civils contractor then Cable contractor then Activation contractor The art is to manage any interfaces. There are 100 ways of killing a cat! If you would like to discuss please ring me on 0141 566 8389 or 07786 021 156 Regards, Peter
