Soldi CDM and Fire provides independent CDM support across live and planned projects, working with clients, principal designers and contractors to ensure duties are understood, documented and discharged effectively.
​
We support clients on their appointment obligations and notification requirements, principal designers on pre-construction phase coordination and design risk management, and contractors on construction phase plans and site risk. Our advice is practical and aligned to real programme and site conditions.
​
The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced new duties for principal designers on higher-risk buildings that sit alongside and extend existing CDM responsibilities. We provide joined-up advice that considers both regimes together rather than treating them in isolation.
​
CDM compliance is frequently treated as paperwork. In practice, failures in duty holder appointments, documentation and risk management lead to accidents, enforcement action and project delays. Independent support at the right stage removes that risk.
Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015
The Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 place legal duties on everyone involved in a construction project, clients, designers and contractors. Getting CDM right is not just a compliance exercise. It is a practical framework for managing construction risk, protecting workers and ensuring projects are delivered safely and without unnecessary liability.

​
Who we work with
​
Clients who need to understand their legal obligations before a project starts. Principal designers who require support managing the pre-construction phase and coordinating safety information. Contractors and principal contractors managing construction phase plans and site risk. Developers and asset owners managing multiple projects or ongoing programmes of work.
​
What we do
​
Client Advisory
Guidance for clients on their CDM duties before and during a project, including appointment obligations, notification requirements and what to expect from their design and construction team.
​
Principal Designer Support
Support to principal designers on pre-construction phase coordination, design risk management, health and safety file preparation and interface with other duty holders.
​
Construction Phase Plan Review
Review and assessment of construction phase plans produced by principal contractors, providing independent commentary on adequacy, completeness and site-specific risk management.
​
CDM Compliance Audit
Independent audit of CDM arrangements on live projects, identifying gaps in duty holder appointments, documentation and site risk management.
​
Health and Safety File
Preparation and review of health and safety files for handover at project completion, ensuring the information is accurate, complete and usable by future owners and occupiers.
​
Building Safety Act Interface
The Building Safety Act 2022 introduced new duties for principal designers on higher-risk buildings that sit alongside and extend existing CDM responsibilities. We provide joined-up advice that considers both regimes together.
​
Why it matters
​
CDM compliance is frequently treated as paperwork. In practice, failures in CDM lead to accidents, enforcement action, project delays and liability for clients and designers who did not understand what was required of them. Independent support at the right stage of a project removes that risk and ensures the framework works as it was intended, to keep people safe and projects moving.
