This includes oversight of:

• Design brief preparation

The objective is to ensure temporary works are properly planned, documented, installed and controlled.

Key Responsibilities Supported

• Acting as Temporary Works Coordinator (project specific)

• Verifying design briefs are complete and suitable

• Coordinating between temporary works designers and site teams

• Maintaining the Temporary Works Register

• Confirming inspection and sign-off procedures

• Monitoring compliance with approved design

How We Operate

Coordination Model

• Project scope and risk review

• Categorisation of temporary works requirements

• Establishment or review of TW procedures

• Structured documentation control

• On-site verification inspections

• Communication with Principal Contractor and design teams

This service operates in an advisory and coordination capacity.

All installation remains the responsibility of appointed contractors.

Why Structured Temporary Works Control Matters

• Prevents structural collapse incidents

• Reduces risk of unsafe loading conditions

• Ensures design intent is properly implemented

• Protects directors and duty holders under CDM

• Creates clear accountability and audit trail

• Reduces enforcement and commercial risk

Temporary works failures are rarely design failures — they are coordination failures.

Structured oversight prevents that gap.
