Demolition and Construction Management Plans

Where a site has buildings to clear, councils often want a combined Demolition and Construction Management Plan. It covers the extra risks of demolition, including asbestos, noise, vibration and dust, as well as the construction stage that follows.

How it works

From brief to approved document.

  1. Brief

    Send drawings, the planning decision notice and the condition wording. We confirm scope, fee and timescale in writing within one working day.

  2. Draft

    We prepare the programme, plan or drawings and flag the assumptions and risks we have made.

  3. Review

    We walk you through it, take comments from your team and revise.

  4. Issue

    You receive final native files and PDFs. For CMPs we stay on through council comments until the condition is discharged.

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I need to notify the council before demolition?

In England and Wales, most demolition needs notice to the local authority under section 80 of the Building Act 1984, separate from the planning condition. We flag this in the plan and programme.

Do you arrange the asbestos survey?

No. A refurbishment and demolition asbestos survey must be carried out by a specialist. We use its findings in the plan and programme.
