Construction phase plans — FAQs
What is a construction phase plan?
A construction phase plan (CPP) is the document required by regulation 12 of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 for every construction project. It sets out the health and safety arrangements, site rules and specific measures for controlling the significant risks during the construction phase.
Who is responsible for the construction phase plan?
On projects with more than one contractor the principal contractor draws up the plan. On a single-contractor project the contractor is responsible. It must be prepared before the construction phase begins and kept up to date as the work proceeds.
Does every project need one?
Yes. CDM 2015 requires a construction phase plan for every construction project, however small. The plan should be proportionate to the size and risk of the work: a short domestic job needs a simple plan, a large multi-contractor project needs a detailed one.
Can Complys build one for a specific job like Whitecross Farm?
Yes. You give the project details and Complys produces a CPP tailored to that job, covering the management arrangements, site rules, the significant risks and their controls, welfare and emergency procedures, ready to issue before work starts.
