Principal Designer's Toolkit: Creative CDM for Architects and Designers

A follow-on publication from CDM 2015: A Practical Guide for Architects and Designers by the same author, this book is a highly visual book of illustrated and annotated case studies. It will aim to allow those who wish to exercise the Principal Designer role, but do not have previous experience, to vicariously learn about the relevant issues, techniques, pitfalls to avoid, and will provide them with the good practice guidance to follow. It will show them how to explore new, innovative and creative design solutions without the fear of not being able to build them in a practical, economic or otherwise viable way, helping them to identify acceptable or tolerable levels of risk to construction workers in order to build the architecture of the future without risking litigious action. In summary, it will help them to go "as far as is reasonably practicable" with Design Risk Management without disproportionate effort and sacrifice.
