BS 5975 SPLIT INTO TWO PARTS in February 2025.
Part 1 now sits with the Designated Individual.
Part 2 covers the Temporary Works Coordinator.
If you haven't updated your procedural documents to reflect BOTH parts, your next audit will expose that gap instantly.
UK CONTRACTORS are mobilising live sites RIGHT NOW with zero documented CDM design cover.
No in-house competency.
No permit-ready pack.
No calculations.
HSE doesn't care about your programme pressure.
Get a compliant Temporary Works design pack — calculations, drawings, DRA — before it costs you the project.

A contractor called me last week in a panic.
false work going in the next morning. no design. No check. no permit.
This happens more than people want to admit.
Somewhere between the programme pressure and the "we've always done it this way" mindset, temporary works get treated like a box-tick rather than a design discipline.
and then something goes wrong. or nearly goes wrong.
I got them a documented design pack before their start time.
But that's not the point.
The point is they should never have been in that position to begin with. A quick call early in the job — even just to scope what's needed — would have changed everything.
Temporary works aren't the part of the project you sort out the night before.
SITE COLLAPSES kill workers.
BS 5975:2024 exists for a reason — and contractors STILL send me excavation designs with ZERO temporary works briefs, no Cat check, no permit.
This is not a paperwork problem. It's a life-safety failure.
Get compliant. Get a quote today.
WORKING PLATFORMS are the most ignored temporary works on site.
No design. No check. No permit.
BR 470 exists. Ground bearing pressure MATTERS. A crane or piling rig on weak ground doesn't warn you first.
It just goes.
EXCAVATION SUPPORT with no design pack.
That is not a risk. That is a GUARANTEE of failure.
Collapsed trench. Dead worker. Criminal prosecution.
BS 5975:2024 demands a competent designer BEFORE the dig starts – not after the coroner asks why.

UK construction companies are losing experienced people every week.
I’m a Civil Engineer with 28 years’ experience specialising in Temporary Works Design, Consulting, CAT checks, method statements and site coaching (BS 5975). I run my own practice and still get called when sites are in trouble the night before falsework goes in.
I’m also a family man. We work hard, we show up, and we’re ready to relocate for the right opportunity.
If your company is looking for someone who actually understands temporary works (not just ticks the box), values process over panic, and will bring a committed family with them, message me.
Serious enquiries from contractors, consultants or developers outside the UK welcome. Let’s talk.

Can I come and help build Terafab? I am a civil engineer and entrepreneur desperate to escape the UK. I believe in your dreams. I have dreams and they are not here in my home sadly. This Labour government has seen to that.

We found 3 competitors ranking for keywords we should own.
We're not ranking for them at all.
That's the gap we're going after now.
Building in public means admitting when the map is wrong before you fix it.

temporary works isn't the part of the project you sort out the night before.
the UK construction industry has a temporary works problem nobody talks about.
sites don't fail because engineers can't design.
they fail because nobody set up the process properly before work started.
no defined TWC. no register. no permit system.
just vibes and a method statement nobody read.
BS 5975:2024 exists precisely for this. clear roles. clear checks. clear handoffs.
but most contractors treat it as a box-tick after something goes wrong, not a setup task before anything starts.
i spend a surprising amount of my time helping sites fix the process mid-project.
it's harder. it's messier. and the risk window is already open.
getting the procedures right at the start costs a fraction of sorting it out under pressure.
that's the part contractors keep underestimating.

Temporary works collapses keep happening. Here’s the latest on structural stability failures, HSE prosecutions, and the standards that still prevent most of them 🧵
