Questions

Construction Phase Plan Checklist: what people ask

Does a small job need a construction phase plan?

Yes. Where there's only one contractor on a project, that contractor must make sure a construction phase plan is drawn up as soon as practicable before the site is set up. With more contractors, the principal contractor draws it up.

Who has the duties on a homeowner's job?

Client duties for domestic clients normally pass to the contractor on a single-contractor job, or to the principal contractor where there's more than one. A homeowner can instead ask their designer to take them on under a written agreement.

Is there a free tool for this?

Yes. CITB's free CDM Wizard app helps small builders produce the construction phase plan for a job, as required under CDM.
