## What is New CDM?

CDM Wizard will help you to plan and organise your construction job and work together with others involved to make sure that the work is carried out without risks to health and safety. It will also help you to comply with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015); applicable across Great Britain.


The app asks you questions about what you will be doing and the nature of the work. Most of the questions are answered with simple tick-boxes, allowing you to complete the whole process in less than 5 minutes. An action plan is then generated that can be viewed instantly on your device or can be emailed to whoever needs it. This is the Construction Phase Plan for your job and required under CDM 2015. The plan includes:

- Details of your job and activities
- Potential health and safety risks
- Measures to stay healthy and safe


Anyone who works in the building industry will find this app useful. It has been developed for use on small scale jobs such as domestic client work e.g.

- installing a kitchen
- building an extension
- structural refurbishment
- roofing work


A simple plan before work starts, is usually enough to show that you have thought about health and safety.


Under CDM 2015, every construction project needs a Construction Phase Plan. Somebody needs to be named in the plan as the person in overall control, regardless of the number of trades/contractors/sub-contractors working on the job.


That somebody has a duty under CDM 2015 as the Principal Contractor to plan and organise the work, and work together with others in the project to ensure health and safety standards are maintained.

## Key features

- Job planning and organization
- Health and safety risk assessment
- CDM 2015 compliance
- Instant action plan generation
- Emailable construction phase plan
- Suitable for small-scale jobs

### 4/5 — Great product

*2026-03-25*

Works well on iPhone but desktop version on Mac does not work

**Developer response:** Dear Ricyhalf, there is no MacOS version of this mobile app, currently.  I am not sure what you have installed on your MacOS device, but I don't think it is this app - or perhaps you have tried to install the iOS app on your MacOS device - and the request was refused, because of the incompatibility of iOS software with MacOS devices.

### 5/5 — CDM

*2025-01-27*

Keeps freezing, doesn’t always load in. The old app worked perfectly

**Developer response:** Dear Wee_Whitley, I am sorry to hear you are having problems with the app. We do our best to test our apps very thoroughly - and we have not seen this issue in testing. We also have tracking in the app that can alert us to problems when they occur, but that is an optional setting for end users - and we are not seeing any messages currently.  Could you please check that you have the "Send diagnostic and usage data" option selected (this is found at the bottom of the menu - which is shown by tapping an icon of horizontal lines top left of the app's main screen).  Also - could you please contact our support team for further help and we will work with you to resolve the issue: support@citbdigitalproducts.zendesk.com
