Construction-focused support

Clear advice connected to project delivery.

A Construction Phase Plan should explain how the project will be planned, managed, monitored and coordinated—not repeat legislation. We develop plans around the duty holders, site constraints, logistics, programme, welfare, emergency arrangements and significant risks, with clear responsibilities and review requirements.

Support is provided directly by a construction health and safety consultant and aligned with applicable UK legislation, HSE guidance and the project's own management arrangements.

How we work

A controlled, auditable process.

Each commission begins with the information available and the actual decision or deliverable required. Gaps and assumptions are identified before they become project problems.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask about construction phase plans.

Does every construction project need a Construction Phase Plan?

Yes. Under CDM 2015, a Construction Phase Plan is required for every construction project before the construction phase begins, whether the work is commercial or domestic.

Who is responsible for the Construction Phase Plan?

For projects involving more than one contractor, the Principal Contractor must draw up and maintain the plan. For a single-contractor project, the contractor has that duty.

Can you update an existing plan?

Yes. We can review and revise an existing plan where the project information, work phase or management arrangements have changed.
