ISS Banking

ISS Banking undertakes a facility management role for TSB Bank, managing construction projects that include refurbishments of bank branches and offices, M&E system replacements, and the repurposing and upgrading of buildings. ISS appointed Vextrix to assist with CDM compliance duties for the Principal Contractor and Principal Designer roles on this project.

Our CDM Consultant was appointed at the scoping stage of the project. The team collaborated with the client to clarify project requirements, advised on the necessary information for safe construction, and coordinated the preparation of the Pre-construction Information. Areas of the building remained operational; this meant the team worked closely with the Principal Contractor to integrate the existing fire strategy with temporary arrangements.

An Asbestos Survey was also required because the building was constructed before the year 2000.

Clearly defining roles is essential for a successful project, so the team ensured they worked closely with ISS to identify the Principal Contractor and establish effective protocols for managing contractors, ensuring smooth coordination while different areas of the building were under construction simultaneously. Vextrix worked closely with the ISS Project Manager and contractors to ensure CDM compliance, offering clear guidance on on-site requirements and temporary fire evacuation arrangements.

The scope included:

• Collating the Pre-construction Information.
• Reviewing the Construction Phase Plan.
• Conducting site inspections.
• Preparing the H&S File for handover to the client.
