CDM Coordination

The Heery Pro-active Planning Supervision Service

Heery started providing Planning Supervision Services when the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 - more commonly known as the CDM Regulations - came into existence. Following the introduction of the 2007 Regulations, this service is now known as CDM Coordination.

We have provided good value Pro-active Planning Supervision services on developments totalling more than £1.2 Billion. These have ranged in size from the smallest CDM threshold project up to £300 million schemes in the following sectors:

Commercial Office; Education; Health; Defence; Civil Engineering; Retail; Leisure; Heritage.

What is different about Heery's Pro-Active CDM Coordination service?

  • CDM Coordination is a Heery core business competency. Our service is accredited to ISO 9001;
  • Our CDM Co-ordinators add value by pro-actively offering practical and often low cost suggestions to overcome potential construction and maintenance risks.
  • We aim to reduce a Client's Health and Safety related capital and maintenance costs;
  • Our CDM Co-ordinators attend project meetings throughout the projects life;
  • Our CDM Co-ordinators are qualified safety professionals who are objective, practical and naturally inquisitive;

Heery's Pro-Active CDM Coordination Fee Structure

We assess the risks likely to be inherent in a project and then prepare a project specific time schedule before submitting our lowest cost fee. Our fee will not change unless the basis of our fee submission changes.
