As you may have heard, the CDM Regulations are changing. CDM 2015 will come into force on the 6th of April 2015, and from this date every new construction project in Great Britain will be required to comply with the 2015 CDM regulations. For projects already started on site, the transitional period extends to October 2015, to comply with CDM 2015.

- Principal Contractor
- Contractors
- Designers
