Construction (Design and Management) / CDM Co-ordinator

Drawing on years of experience as both Planning Supervisors and Environmental Health Consultants, Perry Scott Nash Associates Ltd can offer a unique CDM Co-ordinator service which addresses environmental health issues e.g. food safety, design, health and safety, environmental protection (noise, waste management etc) at the same time as ensuring CDM responsibilities are met.

Our CDM Co-ordinator function is genuinely a ‘one stop shop’ and is particularly targeted at the leisure, retail and commercial sectors.

• Preliminary work in respect of existing drawings, environment, structure, materials, ground conditions, access ways, transport systems, existing use of asbestos, hazardous substances etc.
• Review of design considerations already proposed i.e. detailed review of feasibility drawings, project drawings.
• Discussions with design team regarding proposed construction methods, access routes, design considerations etc.
• Review of construction materials to be used/specified.
