What is a Construction Management Plan?
A Construction Management Plan (CMP) is a comprehensive and strategic document designed to assist developers in minimising construction impacts, encompassing all construction activities that influence the broader environment, both on and off-site. At EMC Group, we recognize the pivotal role a well-considered CMP plays in ensuring the smooth progression of construction activities while mitigating potential impacts.
Key Components of a CMP.
The level of detail required in a CMP will depend on the scale and nature of the development.
However, a comprehensive CMP typically includes the following key components:
-
Project Overview, Details, Site Context, and Program: A detailed overview of the project, encompassing its scope, specific details, site context, and program milestones.
-
Site Security, Amenity, and Protection of the Public and Assets: Ensuring the security of the construction site, preserving public amenity, and safeguarding both the public and project assets.
-
Stakeholder Management: A strategic approach to stakeholder engagement and management to foster positive relationships and address concerns effectively.
-
Materials Handling Locations: Identification and management of areas designated for the handling and storage of construction materials.
-
Traffic Management: Implementation of traffic management strategies to optimize flow, minimize disruptions, and ensure safety in and around the construction site.
-
Air Quality and Dust Management Controls: Measures to control and monitor air quality, including effective dust management to mitigate potential environmental impacts.
-
Stormwater and Sediment Controls: Implementation of controls to manage stormwater runoff and prevent sedimentation, addressing environmental sustainability.
-
Noise and Vibration: Strategies to monitor, control, and minimize noise and vibration generated by construction activities, promoting a harmonious environment.
-
Waste and Material Re-use Management: A systematic approach to manage waste, emphasizing material re-use wherever possible to contribute to sustainable construction practices.
Why a CMP Matters.
-
Efficiency and Cost Management: A well-executed CMP streamlines construction processes, leading to increased efficiency and effective cost management.
-
Risk Reduction: By anticipating and addressing potential challenges, a CMP minimizes the likelihood of delays and disruptions, ensuring the project stays on track.
-
Stakeholder Alignment: A CMP aligns all stakeholders, fostering a shared understanding of project objectives, timelines, and expectations.
