Construction Management Plan

[edit] Introduction

Construction management plan (CMP) is a document which outlines the project information and mitigations to minimise the impact to neighbourhood and environment. The CMPs are mostly required by the UK councils during the planning application phase.

[edit] Purpose

The purpose of a construction management plan is typically to:

• Determine project information such as scope, location etc.
• Ensure that the construction process will be compliant with current UK HSE and other relevant legislations.
• Determine the site management procedures and strategies
• Ensure that any adverse effects are minimised during construction (for neighbourhood and environment)
• Describe any site-specific method statements required (such as piling, underpinning, demolition etc, if there is any)
