CDM Consultants for Principal Contractor Support
CDM Consultants can give Principal Contractors the practical support they need to manage health, safety and welfare during the construction phase of a project. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) place important duties on the Principal Contractor, particularly where more than one contractor is involved.
Acorn Safety Services provides CDM Consultants for Principal Contractor support. We help you plan, manage, monitor and coordinate health and safety during construction work, with a clear focus on the documents, systems and advice needed to keep the construction phase organised, compliant and moving safely.
We do not provide Principal Designer or Client CDM services on this page. This service is specifically for contractors who have been appointed as Principal Contractor, or who need competent CDM Consultants to help them prepare for that role.
Whether you need a construction phase plan, RAMS support, subcontractor documentation review, site inspection support or ongoing advice throughout the works, our CDM Consultants can help you put practical arrangements in place before work starts and keep them under review as the project develops.

- Planning, managing, monitoring and coordinating health and safety during the construction phase;

Why Principal Contractors Use CDM Consultants
Principal Contractors are expected to keep the construction phase under control from start to finish. That includes planning the work, coordinating contractors, managing site risks, maintaining welfare arrangements, keeping documentation up to date and making sure workers receive the information and instruction they need.
Good CDM Consultants do more than produce paperwork. They help turn CDM requirements into practical site arrangements that can be understood by supervisors, subcontractors and workers. This makes your construction phase plan, RAMS, inductions, inspections and project records more useful on site.
Acorn Safety Services can support Principal Contractors before work starts, during mobilisation and throughout the construction phase. This can be particularly useful when a project involves multiple trades, occupied premises, tight programmes, higher-risk activities or a client who needs evidence that health and safety is being properly managed.
CDM Consultants Support That Can Include
- Construction phase plan preparation, review and updating;
- RAMS preparation, review and improvement;
- Subcontractor document checks and coordination support;
- Site induction, toolbox talk and briefing support;
- Site inspection, audit and action close-out support;
- Advice on welfare, emergency procedures, access control, fire arrangements and traffic management;
- Project health and safety documentation management through our online portal.
The aim is simple: our CDM Consultants help you put sensible, proportionate controls in place so the Principal Contractor role is easier to manage and easier to evidence.

How can your CDM Consultants support me as the Principal Contractor?
How our CDM Consultants will help you as the Principal Contractor
There are a number of duties placed on the Principal Contractor under CDM 2015. Our role is to support you with clear, practical advice and documentation so you can manage the construction phase with confidence.
Our Principal Contractor CDM Consultants support can include:
‣ Helping you plan, manage, monitor and coordinate health and safety during the construction phase.
‣ Preparing, reviewing and updating the construction phase plan before and during the works.
‣ Supporting suitable arrangements for managing site health, safety and welfare.
‣ Helping coordinate contractors and subcontractors so they understand the site rules, risks and required controls.
‣ Reviewing or preparing risk assessments, method statements and safe systems of work.
‣ Supporting site-specific induction content, toolbox talks and health and safety briefings.
‣ Advising on site access, segregation, emergency arrangements, fire safety, traffic management and welfare facilities.
‣ Liaising with the client, Principal Designer and wider project team where required.
‣ Helping keep project health and safety documentation organised, current and accessible.
What will your CDM Consultants provide for the construction phase?
The support our CDM Consultants provide depends on the size, nature and risk profile of your project. We can help with one specific requirement or provide ongoing Principal Contractor support throughout the construction phase.
Typical support includes:
‣ Construction phase plan preparation and review.
‣ RAMS preparation, review and improvement.
‣ Site-specific health and safety documentation.
‣ Contractor and subcontractor coordination support.
‣ Site inspection and audit support where required.
‣ Action tracking and close-out support.
‣ Toolbox talk and induction support.
‣ Advice on welfare, emergency arrangements and access control.
‣ Practical guidance on applying CDM requirements to the work taking place on site.
Can your CDM Consultants produce or review the construction phase plan?
Yes. Our CDM Consultants can produce a construction phase plan for your project, review an existing plan, or update the plan as the project changes. A construction phase plan should be proportionate to the project and should clearly explain how health and safety will be managed during the works.
We’ll help make sure the plan is practical, site-specific and useful to the people managing and carrying out the work, rather than a generic document that sits in a folder and is rarely used.
Do your CDM Consultants act as the Principal Contractor?
Our CDM Consultants support Principal Contractors with their CDM duties. The formal duty holder appointment and legal responsibilities remain with the appointed Principal Contractor unless a separate written agreement confirms otherwise.
We provide the practical support, advice, documentation and review work needed to help you manage your responsibilities properly during the construction phase.
What type of projects can your CDM Consultants support?
Our CDM Consultants can support Principal Contractors on a wide range of construction projects, including refurbishment, fit-out, maintenance, demolition, small works, commercial projects, retail works, education projects, healthcare environments, industrial premises and occupied buildings.
Every project is different, so we keep the support practical and proportionate. Whether you need help getting the construction phase plan right, reviewing subcontractor RAMS, preparing site safety arrangements or keeping documentation organised, we can help.
What areas do our CDM Consultants cover?
From our central base in Northampton, our CDM Consultants support Principal Contractors across the UK. We can provide remote document support, project advice and, where required, site-based support depending on the nature and location of the project.
