Executive Context

What This Practice Area Achieves

Construction Phase Plans (CPP), RAMS technical reviews, site compliance audits, contractor competence vetting, and site safety management.

Commercial Alignment

Every deliverable is structured to pass regulatory audits, insurer scrutiny, and Tier-1 procurement requirements under current UK standards.

Operational Reality

Where Operational Safety Commonly Breaks Down

Construction Phase Plan is Too Generic

Standard template CPPs that fail to address project-specific logistics, high-risk interfaces, and fire safety plans.

Late or Unsuitable Subcontractor RAMS

Generic method statements submitted hours before high-risk works commence with inadequate risk controls.

Contractor Mobilisation & Competence Gaps

Subcontractors arriving on site without verified training evidence, inductions, or clear safety expectations.

Recurring Inspection Findings & Open Actions

Site hazards and inspection observations that remain open without verified contractor closeout.

Target Audience

Who This Service Is For

Developers & Client Project Teams requiring independent governance and statutory CDM oversight.
Main & Principal Contractors managing commercial builds, fit-outs, and multi-trade packages.
Specialist Subcontractors requiring compliant RAMS and pre-qualification support.
Project Managers & Employers Agents seeking transparent site safety reporting and assurance.
Measurable Value

Post-Engagement Value Gains

Statutory CDM Compliance

Full alignment with HSE L153 requirements, protecting dutyholders from enforcement notices.

Robust CPP & RAMS

Site-specific, auditable documentation that frontline supervisors actively understand and apply.

24-48h RAMS Turnaround

Rapid, professional technical review SLA preventing costly project programme delays.

Action Closure Assurance

Traceable CAPA tracking ensuring all site inspection hazards are physically verified and closed.

Project Decision Support

Select your project role and current stage to identify targeted Kevron construction health & safety support.

Statutory CDM Regulation 12

Construction Phase Plan (CPP) Support

Under Regulation 12 of the CDM Regulations 2015, a project-specific Construction Phase Plan must be prepared before any construction site is established. Kevron supports Principal Contractors and client project teams in developing, reviewing, and maintaining robust, proportionate plans that reflect actual site operations.

Proportionate & Practical: Aligned with project risk without creating unnecessary administrative volume.
High-Risk Integration: Structured controls for lifting, excavations, temporary works, and live interfaces.
Live Document Updates: Scheduled review protocols as construction phases and trade packages transition.
8 Core Pillars of a Compliant CPP
1. Project Arrangements Scope, site boundaries & dates.
2. Site Safety Rules PPE, deliveries & curfews.
3. Management Roles PC, Site Lead, TWC & First Aid.
4. Coordination Daily briefings & trade meetings.
5. Welfare Facilities Sanitary, rest & water provision.
6. Emergency & Fire Evacuation, first aid & spill kits.
7. High-Risk Controls Height, lifting & live services.
8. Monitoring & Review Inspection routines & audits.
Technical Assurance

RAMS Development & Technical Vetting

We distinguish statutory Risk Assessments (MHSWR 1999) from practical Method Statements, providing rigorous 24–48h technical reviews for Principal Contractors and Subcontractors.

Deliverable: Photographic Hazard Report & 24h Action List
Systemic & Strategic Monthly / Milestone

H&S Compliance Audit

Focuses on how effectively agreed systems operate over time: CPP adherence, contractor competence verification, statutory plant inspections, fire plan validity, and CAPA closeout.

Deliverable: Executive Audit Report with RAG Scorecards

Temporary Works Assurance Reviews

Temporary works represent some of the highest-risk operations on a construction site. Kevron provides independent health and safety assurance reviews to verify that management procedures, design briefs, independent checking categories (0–3), and permits to load are operating effectively.

Note: Kevron provides procedural H&S management assurance and compliance reviews. We do not provide structural engineering design calculations.

CDM Regulation 8 Alignment

Contractor Competence & Onboarding

Under Regulation 8 of CDM 2015, Principal Contractors must ensure trade subcontractors possess the required skills, knowledge, experience, and organisational capability. Kevron implements robust pre-qualification questionnaires and mobilization checks to prevent substandard trades from setting foot on site.

1. Organisation H&S policy, insurances & SSIP accreditation.
2. People CSCS/CPCS/IPAF cards & SSSTS supervisors.
3. Task Discipline track record & technical method review.
4. Evidence Training matrices & statutory plant certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions on Construction & Project Health & Safety (CDM 2015)

Key answers regarding scoping, delivery timescales, and statutory compliance.

A Construction Phase Plan is a statutory document required under Regulation 12 of CDM 2015 for every construction project before work begins on site. It outlines the health and safety arrangements, site rules, and specific control measures for high-risk activities.
