Understanding Construction Phase Plans
Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM) where a contractor is appointed as a Principal Contractor they must develop a Construction Phase Plan.
This is needed to detail how the Principal Contractor will plan and manage all aspects of health and safety during the construction phase.

Expert support where you need it
Inspectas CDM has a team of accredited Consultants with extensive knowledge of the CDM Regulations and the associated application of those regulations.
Where a Principal Contractor needs help in devising the Construction Phase Plan, we fulfil this role right across your development project.
Our first step is to obtain a thorough understanding of the project – paying particular attention to any site constraints – by reviewing the Client’s Pre-Construction Information and as is often required, by visiting the location in question.
Taking care of the details
Often a Construction Phase Plan will require appendices such as site establishment plans, fire plans or traffic management plans all of which we can develop on your behalf.
We can produce and develop the necessary documentation, process and procedures on a project-by-project basis, taking the hassle out of this legal requirement on your behalf.
