Stay compliant with CDM 2015 — check your F10 requirements

Most homeowners don’t realise it, but once you start building work — even a home renovation — you’re bound by CDM 2015 Regulations.
And if your project hits certain thresholds, you’re legally required to submit an F10 notification to the HSE.
Miss it, and you could be breaking the law without even knowing.

What CDM 2015 Is All About

CDM stands for Construction (Design and Management) — it’s the law that makes sure every construction project is planned, managed, and carried out safely.
It applies to everyone: builders, designers, and yes — you, the homeowner (the client).

When You Need an F10 Notification

An F10 must be submitted before work starts if your project:

  • Lasts longer than 30 working days and has 20 or more workers on site at any one time, or

  • Involves more than 500 person-days of construction work in total

If your job meets either condition, it’s classed as notifiable — and the F10 must be filed with the Health and Safety Executive.

Who’s Responsible

If you’re a domestic client, your Principal Contractor should handle the F10 submission —
but legally, you’re responsible for making sure it’s done.

No “I didn’t know” excuses.

You should always:
✅ Ask if your project is notifiable
✅ Request a copy of the F10 form (you’ll get a PDF confirmation)
✅ Keep it with your project documents

The languages only differ in their grammar, their pronunciation and their most common words. Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common.

A Norfolk Scout group has been left facing a £50,000 shortfall and an unfinished building project after their contractor went into liquidation. The 1st Belton Scouts, based near Great Yarmouth, had been awarded a £292,000 government grant through the Youth Investment Fund to extend and double the size of their headquarters — a long-awaited project …

Before you hand over a penny or let anyone near your home, there’s one golden rule: Do your due diligence. Too many homeowners get stung because they trust what a builder says instead of checking who they really are. That’s where Check A Builder comes in.
