Transition Arrangements for UCL 6th April to 6th October 2015
Where UCL Estates has a project with a CDM-­‐C appointment and is due to complete before the 6th October 2015, the appointed CDM-­‐C role will remain in place and comply with the duHes contained in Schedule 4 of the new CDM 2015 regulaHons. Where a project is currently running with a CDM-­‐C appointment and is due to complete post 6th October 2015. UCL will need to appoint a Principal Designer before 6th October 2015. For current and new projects where UCL has not yet appointed a CDM co-­‐ordinator, UCL must appoint in wriHng a Principal Designer under the new CDM 2015 regulaHons. This should be one of the first appointments on a project. If the appointment is not made, the role will be held by UCL. 24/04/15 TRANSFORMING UCL
UCL Estates Approach –
Designers undertake the role of Principal Designer
UCL Estates will appoint the framework architects, building surveyors or M&E
designers to undertake the role of Principal Designer.
All new projects to be looked at during feasibility and a decision made by the
client team on the appropriate design lead to have Principle Designer duties as
part of their scope of service.
24/04/15 TRANSFORMING UCL
UCL Estates Approach –
Appointing UCL as Principal Designer for small projects/minor works
On projects with low levels of design input for example reactivate works, UCL
Estates will take on the Principal Designer role.
UCL will be supported by the existing CDM framework to provide competent
advice.
Single Packages of Work
Where multiple projects are planned in a single or interacting buildings, consider
merging the works packages.
