Embedding safety and compliance into every stage of project design and delivery.
We help clients fulfil their health, safety, and compliance responsibilities under current legislation, providing Principal Designer services under CDM 2015 and the Building Safety Act 2022, as well as CDM Advisor support.
Acting as CDM Principal Designers (CDM PD), we manage health and safety during the design phase of a project. We coordinate designers to ensure compliance, identify and mitigate foreseeable risks, and manage the flow of pre-construction information to contractors. We are responsible for preparing and maintaining the Health & Safety File, ensuring that all safety information is accurate and up to date throughout the project.
Building Regulations Principal Designer
Under the Building Safety Act, we act as Building Regulations Principal Designers (BR PD) to ensure that design work complies with building regulations and manage design risks from the client’s appointment through to project completion. Acting as the lead designer, we coordinate with the Principal Contractor, share relevant safety information, and actively oversee design compliance. At the end of the project, we sign a declaration confirming that all duties have been fulfilled, demonstrating competence and regulatory compliance.
CDM Advisor
Acting as CDM advisors, we support clients by explaining their legal duties, assessing risks, and briefing them on project roles. We prepare and review documentation such as pre-construction information and Health & Safety Files, check the competence of designers and contractors, conduct audits of risk assessments and management arrangements, and perform site inspections. We liaise with the HSE, including submitting F10 notifications when required.
We have found YMD Boon to be very professional, understanding of our needs and highly committed in carrying out their duties. On the basis of the opportunities we have offered them, their large portfolio of experience in education, commercial and residential areas of operation I would endorse them for future work with the college.

Working with YMD Boon has been a pleasure from start to finish. We are extremely happy with the end product – the street scene is visually striking, and we’ve helped create a wonderful, welcoming environment for families to call home. The feedback from residents has been overwhelmingly positive, which is a real testament to the project team and highlights the success of the project.
