sbh completes first CDM project right on time for Maplin
Less than four months after the new CDM regulations came into force, warehouse and property specialist sbh has successfully completed a major fit-out project on behalf of electronic goods retailer Maplin for their new 175,000ft² (15,785m²) Rotherham warehouse. Maplin sells over 14,000 different consumer electronic products through its network of 134 stores, through mail order and on line sales.

In spite of a complex programme involving mechanical and electrical works, sprinklers in the main warehouse and offices, racking, conveyors and a mezzanine floors, the project was completed on 20th July to a tight ten-week deadline - and within the original £2.0m budget.

As Project Manager and Construction, Design and Management Co-ordinator (CDMc), sbh was responsible for ensuring that all designers, contractors, suppliers and Maplin staff complied with the new legislation, including ensuring the Health and Safety plan was implemented, carrying out risk assessments and monitoring the performance of all parties on site.

One of the UK’s leading warehousing property specialists, sbh has delivered on budget, on time projects for many of the country’s leading retailers, distributors and manufacturers including B & Q, General Motors, Nissan, Austin Reed and L’Oréal.
