Does the works need a CDM Coordinator?
Yes, if the demolition stage is notifiable (i.e. longer than 500 man-hours or 30 days). If the project duration is less than the above, or if you are carrying out domestic demolition (i.e., not development for income), then there are different CDM regulations although these projects are non-notifable. By law, Shorts Group are not allowed to serve as a CDM coordinator as the HSE require an independent person who is qualified in this field. We can, however, recommend a reputable one to you. If the works are notifiable under CDM regulations you will need to appoint a Principal Contractor.
