Construction Design and Management Regulations 1996 and Health and Safety matters
The need for a Planning Supervisor
The CDM Regulations imposes a requirement for the client (building owner or tenant) to employ a Planning Supervisor to administer the regulations with regard to health and safety matters in the design of building works and on the building site.
It should be noted that this is a requirement and not a recommendation and it is a criminal offence to break this law.
The Planning Supervisor may be the same or different person or firm as the designer. He/she is required to consider all the potential dangers imposed by the intended design and construction contract and to prepare a Health and Safety Plan prior to tender stage identifying all the dangers. The Planning Supervisor ensures that the various parties properly assess the dangers and, at the end of the contract, ensures that a Health and Safety File is prepared recording the work carried out and the maintenance requirements, especially in respect of health and safety matters.
Party Wall etc Act 1996, and party wall services
We act as Party Wall surveyors, preparing party wall awards where necessary, negotiating with the adjoining owners and offering general advice as required. Brian Eyley has experience of party wall procedures from the London Building Acts.
Planning legislation
The Practice prepares and submits planning applications as a part of the normal service of architectural design but works closely with a Chartered Town Planner where contentious issues are encountered. We can give advice on most aspects of Town Planning Legislation.
Services connected with the Building Regulations
We prepare full detailed drawings for Building Regulation applications as part of our normal service but can give advice concerning compliance or non-compliance, should that be required.
