CDM: the high cost of living

Article Abstract:

The introduction of Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 1994 has led to confusion, with complaints that the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has introduced a layer of bureaucracy which adds costs to the industry, and has not made it clear who should be responsible for what. The planning supervisor is a new role, and architects and consultants are suggesting they would be ideal candidates for the job.

Serena Herbert, unable to locate a supplier of electrical accessories for an interior design to suit her specifications, decided to design her own. In 1988, Herbert developed Forbes and Lomax which produces a wide range of invisible switches and sockets with various finishes, which are used by the National Trust, hotels and private clients alike.
