Temporary works is increasingly being recognized as one of the most critical element of any construction project. The importance and indeed the benefits of identifying the temporary works requirements of a project in advance, and in some cases integrating them into the permanent works, has resulted in many contractors seeking out experienced designers from the outset of a project.

The launch of BS 5975 has raised the standard of the design and checking requirements for temporary works and the definition of the appropriate level of competence and independence. This revision brings procedures into line with those of the Highways Agency and Network Rail.
