Preparing a Design
•Designers have to weigh many factors as they prepare
their designs. Health and
safety considerations have to be weighed
alongside other considerations, including cost, fitness for purpose, aesthetics, buildability,
maintainability and
environmental impact
•CDM2007 allows designers to take due account of other relevant design considerations. The Regulations do not prescribe design outcomes, but they do require designers
to weigh the various
factors and reach reasoned, professional decisions.
