Keeping your project compliant
Why choose Pulse as your principal designer and CDM advisor?
Health and safety sits right at the heart of today’s construction industry. Clients, designers and contractors face ever-evolving responsibilities. To protect your business, your people and the public, it’s vital to understand – and comply with – the latest regulations.
That’s where our highly-qualified H&S consultants, CDM advisors and principal designers can help. As specialists in health and safety, they cut through the complexity – identifying risk and then reducing or removing it. Considering both compliance and practicality, they’ll show a way forward that’s constructive and commercially viable, giving you peace of mind at every stage of your project.
From fire safety to site planning, our principal designer and CDM services team put people first. They make sure that all designs, project plans and review processes are carefully overseen to ensure compliance – making sure that design risks have been taken into account and helping people to stay safe.

FAQs
What does CDM stand for?
CDM stands for Construction (Design and Management). It refers to a set of regulations introduced in 2015 to govern the way UK construction projects are planned, making sure they’re run safely, without harming workers, end users or the public. CDM consultants, like our specialists here at Pulse Consult, are rigorously trained and tested by NEBOSH (The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health), APS (The Association of Project Safety) or IOSH (The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health).
What’s the difference between a CDM and a principal designer?
A CDM consultant is trained in the entire CDM regulatory framework, covering all health and safety responsibilities throughout the lifecycle of a project. A principal designer is a specific role defined by the CDM regulations and involves planning, managing, monitoring and controlling the pre-construction phase to mitigate risk and maximise health and safety.
We have had the support of Pulse now for many years, I enjoy the support given by them; they’re professional and experienced in what they do for us in assisting in CDM for a large M.A.T, this service is essential and expertly delivered.
