How we can help you
Plan, manage and monitor
As Principal Designer we will plan, manage and monitor the pre-construction phase and coordinate matters relating to health and safety during the pre-construction phase to ensure that, so far as is reasonably practicable, the project is carried out without risks to health or safety. We will carry out our role by influencing and communicating how the risks to health and safety should be managed and incorporated into the wider management of a project.
With our experience, knowledge and skills we know how important design decisions taken at pre-construction phase can have a major effect on the delivery of the health and safety of a project. We will work with you, designers and the principal contractor to remove or reduce risks before work commences on site.
​
We will even assist you with the appointment of designers and / or a principal contractor should you require assistance and notify HSE prior to commencement of work.
