Demolition Preparation and Principal Designer
When it comes to demolition project, the law is clear: all work must be carefully planned and carried out in a way that prevents danger. But how do you ensure that this is done correctly? The answer lies in the role of the Principal Designer (PD), and JAMES Ltd is the company that will ensure your project is carried out safely working by working collaboratively with the Client and Contractor , no matter the scope and size of the project.
Why the PD Plays a Pivotal Role in Your Demolition & Decommissioning Preparation
The PD is responsible for managing the pre-construction phase of the project, and for ensuring that the work is carried out safely. This includes planning the work, assessing any risks, and managing the design process. The PD is also in charge of liaising with the other members of the project team, including the contractor, and providing advice and guidance throughout the project. We can help gather the required information and produce a clear and detailed scope of works, pre-construction information etc. that will be incorporated in the Health and Safety File for handover to the Contractor.
