Stage 3 > Developed Design
3.5.5.8 Monitor, coordinate and integrate input from design team
members and specialists.
Maintain close collaboration with consultants and specialists. The
architect might not be responsible for their individual performance, but
will be responsible for the coordination and integration of their work into
the overall design.
3.5.5.9 Check the designers’ cooperation with the CDM coordinator with
respect to the pre-construction information.
As project lead or lead designer, the architect has an obligation to
check that every designer pays due regard to the CDM Regulations and
avoids foreseeable risks, or takes steps to combat them at source when
designing.
3.5.5.10 During this stage the structural engineer should collaborate in
developing the design, and advise on structural options and preferred
solutions. The architect is responsible for coordination and integration
into the overall design concept. This will include checking that structural
proposals are compatible with the space and access requirements of the
services installations.
The structural engineer should produce the initial structural design,
prescribe profiles, basic specifications and building tolerances, define
basic rules for voids and holes which might need to be provided and
which might affect the structure, and take steps as necessary to establish
compliance with statutory requirements. They will provide information
for the elemental and firm cost plan, and should contribute information
and advice for inclusion in the Stage 3 report to the client.

the design process and should be undertaken by the designer.
