End of 2018 Commissions & Clients Update

Ending 2018 with a number of new commissions I’m delighted for Keenan CDM to continue the existing working relationship with Viewpoint Housing Association, Cruden Homes East, MNM Developments and Wilkie Developments on a range of residential projects.

Keenan CDM is also working for the first time with Macgregor Property.

These projects include a range of residential developments in Central Scotland from a modest 3 house development to a large 77 flats development.

A busy month for Keenan CDM

Well time certainly flies and it’s been a busy first month with the highlights being:

Achieving Constructionline Acclaim H&S Accreditation for CDM Principal Designer services
Securing Principal Designer appointments on two residential new build projects in Edinburgh (77 flats for an existing client and 7 flats for a new client)
Asked to join team bids for some very exciting new projects throughout Scotland
Moving to Aviemore where my dual aspect office windows to woods and mountains certainly beat the urban views of Edinburgh’s West End
Seeking new opportunities to serve not only the Lothians, Central and Fife but also Tayside, Grampian and Highland areas of Scotland
The regular trips up and down the A9! Odd one you may think, but the ‘highlight’ is going ‘home’ to Aviemore after day of site visits or meetings rather than only going up at weekends as a tourist, plus the roadside views are amazing as road trips go
Last but certainly not least, the fantastic support and opportunities from my network of business contacts which is greatly appreciated

All in all it has been a very encouraging first month and I’m looking forward to the new opportunities, projects and challenges ahead.

Keenan CDM achieves Acclaim (SSIP) Health & Safety Accreditation

I’m pleased to announce that Anthony Keenan has achieved independent Acclaim (SSIP) Health & Safety Accreditation for the Keenan CDM Principal Designer service (Constructionline Reg 00388256).

This Acclaim Accreditation has been achieved via independent assessment and enables Keenan CDM to demonstrate compliance with health and safety legislation – in this instance, compliance with the CDM Regulations for the provision of Principal Designer services.

This demonstrates the Keenan CDM commitment to providing a comprehensive service via documented processes in line with the CDM Regulations requirements.

Keenan CDM Services – From 1st November 2018

After almost 30 years with my former firm, the latter 6 years as a Partner, I am leaving and establishing myself as an independent consultant under the Keenan CDM banner as of 1st November 2018.

This is in tandem with a relocation from Edinburgh to Aviemore to take better advantage outwith work of the fishing, hiking, biking and snowsport opportunities within the beautiful Cairngorms National Park.

However given my many links to Edinburgh and the fact I’ll still be in Edinburgh on a regular basis, I will be continuing to service Edinburgh, Lothians and surrounding areas as well as seeking new opportunities in Central, Fife, Tayside, Grampian and Highland areas.
