Tom and Priya had been planning a loft conversion for two years, finally turning their box room into proper bedroom space for their growing family. They found a contractor with good reviews, agreed a price, and work began. Neither of them realised that as the people commissioning the work, they had their own legal responsibilities under the Construction Design and Management Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015), simply because nobody had explained this to them beforehand. This happens to homeowners more often than you would think. If you are planning an extension, loft conversion, renovation, or any building work on your home, these duties apply to you, whether anyone has told you or not. We have written a plain English blog post explaining exactly what CDM 2015 means for homeowners, and how to protect yourself before work starts. https://www.fsl-projects.co.uk/do-you-know-your-legal-duties-before-your-building-project-starts/
