One duty holder, one point of blame

Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, any project with more than one contractor needs a principal contractor. That role is not paperwork — it is legal responsibility for planning, managing and monitoring the construction phase.

We take on any project, however big or small and cover all trades such as; decorating, joinery, nurse call systems, air conditioning, fire doors, gas and mechanical works and many more.

Construction phase plan
Written before work starts, site-specific, and revised as the job develops rather than filed and forgotten.
Trade coordination
We appoint, induct and control every contractor on site, and hold the programme they work to.
Health & safety management
RAMS reviewed before mobilisation, site inductions, toolbox talks and recorded inspections.
Building regulations
Notifiable works registered, inspections arranged and compliance certificates obtained.
Client & designer liaison
A single named contact for you and the principal designer, with progress reported in writing.
Handover file
O&M manuals, as-built information, commissioning records and the health and safety file.
