Can I ask who everyone is using as their Principal Designer for their project under CDM 2015? As we are using MBC and sub-trades for our build, the Principal Contractor role comes to us, but it's my understanding that normally an architect fulfils the PD role. I've already asked MBC, and they won't do it, as obviously they don't have control over the rest of the build when they're not on site. Our SE all doesn't provide this service. @Sensus, I'm sure that I've seen you mention using an independent company/individual for this role - could you share some details? Am I correct in my interpretation of the CDM 2015 HSE rules that a self builder is classified as a "domestic client", and therefore has the responsibility of appointing a PC and PD for the project? If not, does the project have to have a PD at all? Thanks, dj

Roof is now finished, ready for slating.

Yeah you could set up a jig and mass produce but we felt it was more efficient just getting it cut and bent from supplier.

We bought our PV array for the outbuildings from Wagner Renewables http://wagnersolarshop.com/ on recommendation from someone on ebuild. They put together a complete kit, even down to the labels to make the whole thing compliant. At the time they were very competitive price wise (after a haggle).

Hi @MikeSharp01, Following with interest, as we're planning on a power floated concrete finish too for our MBC slab. They have agreed to let our contractor (farm sheds are his speciality!) work the slab after them to get the final finish. Have you asked MBC for a different mix or anything, or is it just the regular C35?
