The construction design and management regulations of 2015 are rules which govern the way all types of construction projects are planned. These regulations have been put into place to ensure that all health and safety issues within a project are considered which will reduce the risks during the project.
CDM is used to aid workers in the planning of work so that any risks throughout the initial, end and in-between stages are managed, as well as helping in having the correct workers for each job throughout the project. Furthermore, CDM helps for the information of risks and their management to be communicated to those who require it.
CDM regulations of 2015 included detailed duties for everyone involved in a construction task, known as duty

This designer is appointed by the client on projects with more than one contractor. The main duty of the principle designer is to plan, manage and monitor the health and safety in this phase, again, trying to eliminate or reduce the risks which may be present. Furthermore, they are required to help gather pre-construction information for the client as well as a health and safety file, which will be updated as the project is reaches later stages.
Principle contractors:
The principle contractor is employed by the client on projects with more than one contractor. They are required to plan, manage and monitor the construction phase of the project. It is their duty to communicate efficiently with the client and principle designer in order to get the best out the construction phase. Furthermore, the principle contractor has the duty of giving the contactors suitable jobs and ensuring that they cooperate with each other to have the desired end result.

The main duty as specified in CDM 2015 of the contractor is to plan, manage and monitor the construction phase work so that health and safety of those who may be affected, is ensured. These could include members of the public and the actual workers on site. Moreover, contractors have the duty to ensure subcontractors work in such a way which abides by the health and safety requirements. They also have the task of providing supervision on the project during construction. Contractors must also ensure that anyone employed by them have been given information and instructions so that they may carry out their work without risk to health and safety, including information about emergency procedures and relevant hazards. A very important duty given to the contractor is to ensure work doesn’t begin until steps have been taken to prevent unauthorised site
Construction contracts and design agreements are central to construction business dealings from simple home renovations to large, multi-million dollar contracts. They are also where most of the legal issues stem from. It’s important to note that these contracts typically include a choice of law clause that indicates the state’s law (where the project takes place) will trump all other construction law in the case of disputes. In addition, tort claims may arise between parties who do not have a contract or from a third party not involved with the construction project. Construction professionals also face the legal ramifications of property law, which could have a significant impact on a project outcome.
The geotechnical consultants and the ground investigation contractors are responsible for planning the
The failure to act upon having possible awareness of frequent trespassing in the property. For example, SKF Builders is a construction company which has stacked iron rods in the basement. As everyone knows the risk of sudden accident during construction, it is the responsibility of the construction company to ensure proper safety measures and security so that no one trespass the area and injure themselves. If the company failed to engage a guard to look over the dangerous materials, any injury incurred by civilian or trespasser will make the company

Tender documentation usually includes the Bill of Quantities, a works schedule and plan and any drawings made up by the consultants. At this stage tenders can be submitted by contractors. These tenders are submitted on a single-stage, competitive basis in order to determine a main contractor for the project. The main contractors are not responsible for the design in this case instead the client will keep the design consultants during the construction of the project as they are required to solve any design flaws that arise during the building

The National Code of Practice for the construction industry (The National Code) sets out the minimum standards construction companies have to meet to be eligible for any construction work funded by the Australian Government. It was developed jointly by the Departments of Labour Advisory and the Australian Procurement and Construction Council. The National Code has been endorsed and adopted by Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments through the Procurement and Construction Ministers Council and the Labour Ministers Council. (Council, 1999). The Fair Work Building and Construction (FWBC) are responsible for the education, monitoring, and the reporting of compliance with the National Code.

When there is the work related to the health burden then the proper care is required so the responsible members are answerable in the cases of any bad accident. It is observed that the construction is basically the largest industry. There are several construction projects that are to be held in the country as well as outside the country. Several contracts are really on the large basis. Moreover, the extreme complicated projects are to be headed by the construction companies of Europe. In this case there are necessary precautionary measures that are to be taken by the project managing
Infrastructure Management and Construction deals with project management, construction materials, construction engineering and building engineering.
Construction regulations allow construction professionals to stay competitive by introducing a higher standard of development that all professionals are required to meet in order to build. Which provides an immediate investment to commence energy efficiency methods (Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council 2009, p. 27).
