The North-East of England is the home to some excellent engineering companies who are as good as many big companies worldwide. They comprise of highly qualified and skilled civil engineers, technicians, architects, surveyors, etc. Over the past years, these companies have bid, won, and completed many reputable international and local projects.



Highly Ranked

Civil engineering firms in Yorkshire have consistently given their clients exactly what they want, based on individual input, and completed projects on time and budget. They have done thorough land surveys and obtained the necessary planning permissions and permits as well as ensured that they have a fully qualified and experienced workforce. The company’s civil and structural engineers and quantity surveyors need to get all the requisite planning permissions and arrange for manpower and raw materials.

CDM Regulations

One of the pre-requisites of the CDM or Construction Design and Management regulations is the appointment of a principal designer whose duties includes taking charge of the pre-construction section of the project, especially when there is more than one contractor involved. They also undertake the responsibility of the workers health and safety especially when there are any last minute design changes, and make sure that safety of the workers, project, and site are never compromised.

Safety First

Additionally, they will also coordinate with responsible managers to ensure there are no manpower issues and delays in materials. All this is done to make sure the project is finished on schedule.One of the duties of the principal designer is to coordinate with structural engineers to cover every aspect of the mandated load capacity, and to factor in future increased load capacity within the specified limits. They try to anticipate any future problems and make certain that the whole project is safe.
