Construction Design & Management Regulations
(CDM) for Home Owners
Let work safe as a home – owners have a responsibility to keep their project safe – but can pass this responsibility on to a Principal Designer and/or Builder.
| “Domestic clients If you are having work done on your own home, or the home of a family member, and it is not in connection with a business, you will be a domestic client. The only responsibility a domestic client has under CDM 2015 is to appoint a principal designer and a principal contractor when there is more than one contractor. However, if you do not do this, (as is common practice) your duties as a domestic client are automatically transferred to the contractor or principal contractor. If you already have a relationship with your designer before the work starts, the designer can take on your duties, provided there is a written agreement between you and the designer to do so.” |
