Questions about
the downloads.
Anything else, or a template you would like to see here: success@unibuild.co.uk.
Are these construction templates free to use?
Yes. Every file on this page is free to download, use and reuse. There is no sign-up, no email address to hand over and no charge, and they stay free.
Can I use them on paid work, or for my clients?
Yes. Use them on your own projects and on your clients', print and copy them, put your company name on them and share them with your supply chain. The only thing not included is the Unibuild name and logo, which are a registered UK trade mark.
Can I type into the PDFs?
Yes. The templates, forms and notices are editable PDFs: type into them in any PDF reader, and on the multi-page ones the project name, revision and date typed on the cover carry to every page. The checklists print blank. Each also ticks on screen at its own page and downloads as a dated PDF with your company on the letterhead.
What are the templates based on?
The regulations and the HSE's own guidance. The CDM document templates follow the lists of contents in HSE guidance L153, Appendices 2, 3 and 4, and every section names the regulation or paragraph behind it. Every check on a checklist names the regulation it comes from, or states plainly that it is good practice rather than law.
Will a template make my CDM paperwork compliant?
A template makes sure nothing the regulations ask for is forgotten. What makes a document compliant is that its contents describe the actual job. What goes in each CDM document explains the difference, document by document.
Do I need an account or an email address?
No. Every download link on this page is a direct link to the file.
Can I share them or put them on our own intranet?
Yes. Share them with your team, your subcontractors and your clients. Linking to this page means people always get the current version, with its date.
Will more downloads be added?
Yes. New templates, checklists and site posters are added here as they are made, and every one of them is free on the same terms.
