​
Why does my project need a Construction Phase Plan?
​
The Construction Phase Plan is legally required on all construction projects under the CDM 2015 regulations.
This should be prepared by the Principal Contractor or by the Contractor where there is only one contractor on site.
​
When will my project need a Construction Phase Plan?
​
The CDM 2015 regulations require the Construction Phase Plan to be drawn up before the construction site is set up.
Once drawn up, the document is communicated to all parties involved in the construction phase in order to communicate the significant risks, site rules, and health and safety.
Throughout the project, the construction phase plan must be appropriately reviewed, updated, and revised from time to time so that it continues to be sufficient to ensure that construction work is carried out, so far as is reasonably practicable, without risks to health or safety.
