Construction Phase Plans
Under CDM 2015 the principal contractor, or the contractor on a single-contractor project, must prepare a Construction Phase Plan before work starts, and the client must make sure one is in place. We write plans that reflect the real hazards, sequence and logistics of the site.

Frequently asked
Is a Construction Phase Plan a legal requirement?
Yes. CDM 2015 requires one for every construction project, however small, before the construction phase starts.
Who is responsible for it?
The principal contractor, or the contractor where there is only one. We prepare it for them, but they remain responsible for keeping it current.
