CDM & Principal Designer Support
Practical support with CDM 2015 for construction, refurbishment and installation projects in Burton-on-Trent and across the Midlands.
Midlands Compliance Services helps clients and project teams plan ahead, coordinate health and safety information and manage risks through design and preparation.
Support matched to your project
Whether you are altering a workplace, installing equipment or planning refurbishment, we help you understand what needs doing and organise a proportionate approach.
We agree our role, scope and deliverables at the outset, including whether you need advice, support for your existing project team or a Principal Designer appointment under CDM 2015.

Our contractor RAMS review service helps you examine proposed working methods and controls before work begins.
We also provide risk assessments and audits and inspections to support your wider workplace and project arrangements.
How it works
1 — Discuss the project
Tell us what you are planning, where the work will take place, who is involved and your expected timescales. We agree the support required and provide a clear quotation.
2 — Review and coordinate
We review the available information, work with the relevant project team members and identify the significant risks, information gaps and actions within our agreed scope.
3 — Support delivery and handover
We maintain the agreed coordination and documentation support as the project develops, helping the team communicate changes and prepare the required handover information.
Frequently asked questions
Can you help before we appoint contractors?
Yes. Early involvement gives us the opportunity to review the proposed work, organise available information and help you establish suitable project arrangements.
Can you support an existing Principal Designer?
Yes. We can provide an agreed package of support to your appointed Principal Designer or wider project team, including document reviews and design risk coordination.
Do you offer standalone RAMS reviews?
Yes. Contractor RAMS reviews can be commissioned separately or included within a wider package of project support.
What information do you need for a quotation?
A brief description of the work, the location, expected programme and details of the designers and contractors involved are a useful starting point. Share any drawings or project information you already have.
How much does the service cost?
Fees depend on the project scope, complexity, duration and level of involvement required. We set out our role, deliverables and fees before work begins.
