Generate a Construction Phase Plan (CPP)
Available on all plans
Open your project, go to the Documents tab and start the CPP. The AI sets up the site management and risk sections from your project details while you work through the steps.
Walk the wizard
Project Team — confirm who holds which CDM role on the job.
Site Management and Risk & Safety — review the AI's pre-fill.
These sections auto-fill from your project (you'll see "Setting up your site safety plan" while it works — skip it if you'd rather fill them yourself). Adjust anything that doesn't match how you'll actually run the site.
Welfare & Emergency — confirm welfare arrangements and emergency details.
Site Photos — add photos if you have them (optional).
Review & Suggestions — check the flagged items, then click Create CPP.
The lightweight CPP for small domestic jobs
If your project qualifies (domestic client, you're the only contractor), the wizard opens in its lightweight form automatically — fewer questions, proportionate output. You can switch to the full wizard from inside it if the job needs more.
After generating
Your CPP unlocks RAMS generation when you're running the job. Open the document to Download the PDF or Share a read-only link with your client or principal designer. CPPs don't collect worker sign-off — that's what inductions, toolbox talks and RAMS are for.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a CPP for a small domestic job?
CDM 2015 requires a construction phase plan for every construction project, sized to the job. For straightforward domestic jobs where you're the only contractor, we offer a lightweight CPP — the same document type, proportionate content.
What's the difference between the lightweight and full CPP?
The lightweight wizard is a shorter path for domestic only-contractor jobs. You can switch to the full wizard at any point if the job warrants it — both produce a proper CPP.
Is the CPP free?
Yes — CPP generation is included on every plan, including Starter's free project.
