How it works
From CPP document to compliance report
1

Upload the Construction Phase Plan

Upload the CPP and supporting documents — pre-construction information pack, risk assessments, site rules. Everything processed and cross-referenced automatically.

2

AI maps evidence to all 38 criteria

Dual-agent search checks your CPP against Regulation 12 requirements, Schedule 3 specific risks, and L153 guidance. Every finding cited to the exact section and paragraph.

3

Fix gaps before mobilisation

RAG-rated report shows exactly which requirements are met, partially addressed, or missing. Prioritised actions so your CPP is compliant before work starts on site.

What it assesses

All 38 criteria.
Every CDM requirement covered.

Mapped from CDM 2015 Regulation 12, Schedule 3 specific risk provisions, and HSE guidance L153. The actual requirements an inspector would check, structured across eight categories.

Duty Holders
Client, PD, PC roles and responsibilities identified
5
Pre-Construction Information
PCI assembled, relevant, and referenced in CPP
4
Management Arrangements
Organisation, communication, coordination of contractors
6
Site Rules & Welfare
Site-specific rules, welfare facilities, induction
5
Emergency Procedures
Fire, evacuation, first aid, rescue arrangements
4
Risk Management
Hazard identification, risk assessment, control measures
5
Schedule 3 Risks
Specific risks: asbestos, confined spaces, demolition, diving
5
Worker Engagement
Consultation, competence, training, information provision

Why it matters

CPPs that survive an HSE inspection

Construction Phase Plans are a legal requirement — but too many are treated as a box-ticking exercise. The problems are predictable, and they surface at the worst possible time.

  • CDM compliance treated as box-ticking — plans assembled from templates without project-specific content
  • CPPs that reference documents that don't exist or haven't been produced yet
  • Pre-construction information assembled the week before mobilisation, not during design
  • Regulation 12 requirements partially addressed — enough to look compliant, not enough to be compliant
Assessment Finding
RED
R12.05 — Emergency Procedures

The CPP states emergency procedures "will be developed prior to works commencing" but does not include them. Regulation 12(2) requires the plan to set out emergency procedures before construction begins.

Evidence Found
1
Construction Phase Plan, Section 7.2
"Emergency procedures will be developed by the Principal Contractor prior to works commencing on site..."
2
HSE L153, para 198
"The construction phase plan must include the arrangements for emergency procedures before construction work begins..."
Recommendation: Include specific emergency procedures in the CPP now. Deferring to a future date does not meet Regulation 12(2) requirements.

Check compliance before
the inspector does.
