3. Design Information Review & Outstanding Information

Before construction starts, the Principal Contractor must review the design information and pre-construction information made available for the project. Please complete this section after reviewing the current design information, PCI, DRA, RRR and any issued surveys or reports. This section records whether you have received enough information to prepare the Construction Phase Plan and safely plan the works, and identifies what is still required.

Part A — Design information received

For each item, confirm its current status. Where information has been received, note the document reference, confirm whether it is the current revision, and flag any concerns. Where information has not been received, this will generate an action in the CDM tracker.

General notes on the design information received (optional)

Part B — Information still required before works can proceed safely

Tick any information you still need before you can prepare the CPP or safely plan and start the works. For each item, confirm what is needed, who should provide it, whether it has been requested, and what it is blocking.

Any other information needed not listed above

4. Construction Phase Plan

The Principal Contractor must prepare a Construction Phase Plan (CPP) before the construction phase begins. The Client must ensure that a CPP has been prepared before works start. The CDM Principal Designer may review and comment on the CPP where instructed, but the Principal Contractor remains responsible for its suitability, implementation and revision throughout the construction phase.

7. Contractor Design Responsibility & Subcontractor Management

Contractor-as-Designer

You may be acting as a Designer under CDM 2015 if you prepare, modify, arrange or instruct design information — including substitutions, value-engineering proposals, changed details on site, temporary works proposals, scaffold and access design, contractor-designed portions (CDP), specialist subcontractor design, changes to materials, build-ups or support details, or deviations from architect or engineer drawings. Designer duties apply in addition to your contractor duties.

Does your scope include any elements where you are acting as a Designer?

Yes — details below No — all design by others TBC

Which elements involve your company acting as a Designer?

Will you be proposing substitutions to specified materials or systems?

Yes — details below No TBC

Describe anticipated substitutions

How will design changes be checked before implementation?

How will design changes be recorded and the relevant designer / client notified?

We will not implement design changes, substitutions or contractor-designed elements with potential health and safety implications until they have been reviewed by a competent designer and communicated to the Client and, where appointed, the CDM Principal Designer.

9. Start-on-Site Readiness & CDM Principal Designer Handover Position

Start-on-Site Readiness Statement

Based on the design and CDM information currently available, please confirm your start-on-site position. This statement applies to the current design information and documents listed in Section 3. This does not constitute approval by the Principal Designer — the Principal Contractor is responsible for not starting construction until the CPP is prepared and sufficient information is in place.

Based on the information currently received, can you prepare a CPP and safely plan and start the works?

Yes — I have sufficient information to prepare the CPP and start all proposed works safely. Yes — but certain works must be excluded or delayed until further information is received. See below. No — critical information is outstanding. I cannot confirm readiness for start. See below. TBC — further design information is expected and will be reviewed before confirming readiness.

Identify the works that cannot proceed, and the information required before they can start

What controls or restrictions will you apply to those works in the meantime?

CDM Principal Designer — Post-Start Arrangement

Important — please read carefully. The CDM Principal Designer's base appointment with Parallel Architecture concludes at the handover of pre-construction documents. If design work continues during the construction phase, the Client must ensure that it is undertaken and coordinated by competent persons. Where a CDM Principal Designer remains required for ongoing design coordination, the Client must retain Parallel Architecture, appoint another competent CDM Principal Designer, or appoint a competent replacement party in writing.

Post-start CDM Principal Designer arrangement *

No significant ongoing design is anticipated. I am appointed as Principal Contractor only. No replacement PD is being appointed. Any post-start design change will be referred to the relevant designer and client. Parallel may be re-engaged for the PD role if needed. Parallel Architecture is being retained for post-start design-change review by separate written instruction. Significant ongoing design will arise. I understand a competent replacement CDM PD must be appointed for any post-start design work. I am willing to accept appointment as replacement CDM Principal Designer (competence evidence attached). Another designer is being appointed as replacement CDM PD.

Anticipated ongoing design scope

Competence evidence being provided to support PD appointment

10. Declaration

Please read and confirm each item before generating your submission.

I confirm that the information provided in this form is accurate to the best of my knowledge at the date of submission, and that I am authorised to submit this on behalf of my company. I confirm that my company has the skills, knowledge, experience and organisational capability to fulfil the contractor role stated in Section 1 and, where we are appointed as Principal Contractor, to fulfil the role of Principal Contractor on this project in accordance with CDM 2015. I understand that a Construction Phase Plan must be prepared before the construction phase begins. The CPP must be made available to the Client and, where instructed, the CDM Principal Designer for comment before works start on site. The Principal Contractor remains responsible for its suitability, implementation and revision throughout the construction phase. I will cooperate with and provide information to the CDM Principal Designer (Parallel Architecture) as required throughout the pre-construction phase, and I will ensure that sub-contractors are also aware of their obligations to cooperate with the CDM process. I understand that Parallel Architecture's base CDM Principal Designer appointment concludes at the pre-start handover. I have confirmed in Section 9 what post-start CDM Principal Designer arrangement is in place for any ongoing design work, and I accept responsibility for ensuring that any design changes during the construction phase are managed by competent persons. I will notify the Client, relevant designers and any appointed CDM Principal Designer of material changes to the programme, method, scope, contractor appointments or design information. I will notify Parallel Architecture promptly of any material change before the pre-start handover. After handover, I will notify Parallel Architecture where it remains appointed, is being re-engaged, or where the change affects information previously issued by Parallel Architecture and further review is requested.
