We record and monitor design changes

 

The role does not end once construction begins, as PD we record and monitor design changes, and these are communicated to the principal contractor. The PD will also prepare and maintain the Health and Safety file which is useful for the future maintenance of the building. At HTC we have undertaken the required training to undertake the CDMPD Role and employ specialist consultants to assist with discharging our duties where required.
