RR422 - Developing guidelines for the selection of designers and contractors under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994
This report describes a study into the application of Regulations 8 & 9 of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994, and of Regulations 4 and 7 of the proposed Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2006. These regulations require contractors, designers and co-ordinators to be competent and adequately resourced. The study collates background data, details of existing competency assessment schemes, and the views of industry. It proposes a standardised approach so as to avoid uncertainty in the definition of competence and resource, and also promotes a means of avoiding unnecessary repetition in requests for demonstration of competence.
