Frequently Asked Questions
What is temporary works design?
Temporary works are the secondary structures used to support or protect the main construction during building. This includes scaffolding, temporary props, formwork for concrete, falsework, and access structures. Design is required to ensure safety during construction.
When is temporary works design required?
Temporary works design is required by CDM Regulations when the temporary works are complex or involve significant risk. Common triggers include large excavations, concrete pours over 1.5m, work near adjacent structures, and complex scaffolding configurations.
Who is responsible for temporary works?
Under CDM Regulations, the Principal Contractor is responsible for managing temporary works. They must appoint a Temporary Works Coordinator and ensure designs are produced by competent designers. DW Design & Structure LTD can act as Temporary Works Designer.
How much does temporary works design cost?
Temporary works design costs range from £500 for simple propping to £5,000+ for complex systems. Costs depend on complexity, access constraints, and project programme.
