IDS offer specialist demolition & decommissioning consultancy services operating across the UK, through our office in Glasgow. We aim to guide clients through the process of planning and executing successful demolition projects. In part we do this by developing Pre Construction Information and detailed scopes of work, identifying and mitigating commercial and safety risk and inviting only the most suitable contractors to bid for the work. Demolition projects can be technically challenging and demanding, especially where the works are carried out within a live environment where ongoing client business cannot be interupted.
IDS only provides CDM-Principal Designer service in relation to demolition & decommissioning projects because we firmly believe decommissioning and demolition is a specialist service in its own right. It is distinct from the construction/build role in many regards but particulalrly with the knowledge and experience required to identify and mitigate risks associated with demolition works on high hazard sites found in the petrochemical, nuclear, oil&gas and pharmaceutical industries. To ensure that your project meets not only the requirements and duties of CDM 2015 our experience and in-house knowledge can guide clients through the requirements of BS 6187; Code of Practice for Demolition 2011 and also the duties imposed on clients by the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, and ensure contractor compliance throughout the project.
Under the new CDM regulations 2015, notifiable demolition projects and projects with more than one contractor involved require the appointment of a Principal Designer at the earliest stage of a project. The PD must have the relevant training, experience and expertise in demolition. IDS Ltd can provide the Principal Designer role specific to demolition and provide the following legal duties.
Early involvement of IDS can ensure that further to the provision of the CDM-C function we can reduce many of the commercial risks associated with a demolition project. Defining a specification and developing a cost schedule allows the project team to accurately determine overall project cost and time, reducing financial risk. An accurate specification reduces the potential for variations and claims by the contractor while the cost schedule and commercial risk matrix allows any valid changes to be priced quickly and accurately.
