Free Construction Phase Plan
You do not need another blank Word document with headings. You need a Construction Phase Plan that is specific to your project, covers everything CDM 2015 requires, and is ready to hand over in minutes. That is what The Site Book gives you.
No credit card required. Your first CPP is free.
Every construction project is different. The risks on a loft conversion in a 1930s semi are not the same as a ground-floor extension on a sloping site. A blank CPP template gives you the headings — but you still have to fill in every section yourself. Most builders either copy from an old project (which means the content does not match the actual job) or leave sections vague (which defeats the point of having a plan).
There is also the risk of missing required sections entirely. CDM 2015 is specific about what a Construction Phase Plan must contain. A template that misses welfare arrangements or does not cover monitoring procedures leaves you non-compliant — even if you thought you had ticked the box.
The Site Book takes a different approach. Describe your project in plain English — the address, the type of work, how long it will take, how many people are on site — and a complete, site-specific Construction Phase Plan is created. Every required CDM 2015 section is covered. You review it, make any tweaks, and download a professional PDF.
CDM 2015 sets out what a CPP must contain. Here are the key sections — all created automatically by The Site Book.
What the project is, where it is, when it starts, and how long it will take. The foundation of the entire plan.
Who is responsible for what. On a domestic job where you are the only contractor, this is straightforward — but it still needs to be documented.
How you will identify and control risks on site. This links directly to your RAMS and covers the overall approach to health and safety management.
The rules that apply on your site — PPE requirements, working hours, restricted areas, hot works procedures, and anything else specific to the job.
Where workers can use the toilet, wash their hands, take a break, store their food, and change clothes. These are legal requirements on every construction site.
How you will check that safety measures are actually being followed. Site inspections, toolbox talks, and how you will deal with non-compliance.
The Site Book does not just slot your project name into a generic document. Your job description is read and project-specific content is created for every section. If you are doing a loft conversion, the risk arrangements cover working at height, roof structure integrity, and temporary works. If you are doing groundworks, they cover excavation stability, underground services, and dewatering.
Type or talk. Tell the app what you are building, where, how long it will take, and how many people are on site. That is all you need.
The management structure, risk arrangements, site rules, welfare provisions, and monitoring procedures are all created based on your actual project — not boilerplate.
Read through the created CPP. Adjust anything that needs changing. Once you are happy, download a professional branded PDF ready to share with your client or keep on file.
Not every project needs a 20-page document. The Site Book adapts to the type of work you are doing.
For domestic projects where you are the only contractor — extensions, loft conversions, bathroom refits, kitchen installations. The Lightweight CPP wizard asks you 4 simple questions and a professional 1–2 page plan is created. It covers everything CDM 2015 requires for a domestic contractor without the enterprise overhead.
For commercial projects or any job with multiple contractors on site. The full CPP wizard takes you through a 6-step process covering everything a principal contractor needs — management structure, subcontractor coordination, welfare, monitoring, emergency procedures, and more.
You do not need to gather a stack of paperwork before you start. You just need four things to get started:
Where the work is taking place. This is used for site-specific details in every section.
How long the project will take. This also determines whether the project is notifiable to the HSE.
How many people will be on site. Even if it is just you, the management structure is adapted accordingly.
A brief description of what you are doing. "Loft conversion with dormer, timber frame, new staircase." That is it.
That is genuinely all you need. The CDM 2015 sections, risk arrangements, site rules, and management structure are all created for you. You review and approve — the heavy lifting is done.

Common questions about Construction Phase Plans and the free generator.
A blank template is a starting point, but it will not be specific to your project. You still have to fill in every section yourself, and if you miss something, the document is not compliant. The Site Book creates a complete, site-specific Construction Phase Plan — not just a template. Describe your project, and the project-specific content is filled in for you. You review it, approve it, and download a professional PDF.
Project address, estimated duration, team size, and a brief description of the work. That is genuinely all you need to get started. The rest is handled for you — management structure, risk arrangements, site rules, welfare provisions, and monitoring procedures are all created from your project details.
No. Each Construction Phase Plan must be specific to the project. CDM 2015 requires the CPP to be relevant to the actual work being done, covering the specific risks, site conditions, and arrangements for that particular job. A copied CPP from another project will not cover the right hazards and could leave you exposed if something goes wrong or the HSE inspects your site.
No credit card. No blank templates. Describe your project and get a CDM 2015 compliant CPP in minutes. Your first plan is completely free.
