Construction Management Plan

pauldoner

can anyone please tell me what exactly is a CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT PLAN, and how would I go about filling one out. Its for the County Council.

Poor Uncle Tom

I am not aware of any LA in this country looking for a Construction Management Plan. The LA's here look for a Commencement Notice. Chances are you were talking to someone who worked as a builder in another country.

Not sure either . Try schmoozing up to one of the counter staff at the planning desk - so if you can't cop a peek at one in another planning file

It could be sinnerboy or it could be some form of report whereby the construction is managed in some incerdible way that there is no noise, dust, oogleing labourers or anything at all at all that might result in a complaint to any section in the Council thereby requireing them to actually do some work!!! , seriously its about traffic & waste management, keeping the public roads clean (wheel washers) possibly about working hours if the site is in a residential area etc etc. I would suggest to the op that they ask the relevant planner what exactly they require to be managed in the plan, I'd be 99% sure they will not have a clue and just want to be able to tick yet another box on their long list of boxes!!!

Yeah Id figure its something akin to what No6 says. Most likely a detailed report on all construction related activities to include time frames, traffic management plans etc.

Way to generate work in a fantasy non real world economy ....

is this of any help?

1. What is a Construction Management Plan?
The City of Melbourne requires careful management of excavation, demolition and building work within its municipal boundaries. To achieve this, the City requires many builders and developers to prepare a Construction Management Plan (CMP) that takes into account all relevant aspects of demolition or building work.

The need for a Construction Management Plan depends on the nature of work, likelihood of disruptions, impact on local amenity, dangers or risks involved, traffic management or any other relevant issue required to be addressed under the Planning Permit. A CMP must be submitted to fully address each new stage of construction.

The CMP must address in detail a range of health, safety, traffic management and amenity issues relating to the construction site and adjoining community. It must also consider broader obligations including recycling, waste management and environmental initiatives.

2. Purpose of a Construction Management Plan
This Construction Management Plan Guideline provides advice for builders and developers when completing the City of Melbourne’s CMP template or when formulating their individual CMP for demolition or building work in and around the City of Melbourne.

3. Elements of the Construction Management Plan
The builder or developer must identify the specific requirements for each site to ensure that the work is undertaken in a safe and effective manner. The CMP Elements are:
Element 1: Public Safety, Amenity and Site Security
Element 2: Operating Hours, Noise and Vibration Controls
Element 3: Air and Dust Management
Element 4: Stormwater and Sediment Control
Element 5: Waste and Materials Re-use
Element 6: Traffic Management

Graaaaa

I've only come across one as a Bord Pleanala condition for a wind farm.
A professional from the construction industry or engineer would be able to help compile it.
I'm curious just what this was requested in relation to???

I think there a new thing, its for an extension to a house in Kildare ,nothing fancy just 6 by 4 meters but Kildare County Council say they want a CMP before any work starts.

You have every right to ask them for a copy of the generic format required.

My thinking is that they are thinking of this.

1. A simple plan covering the access, egress, traffic and risk to the public while the site is in progress.

or

2. Which is much bigger and more detailed.
Any construction activity is governed by the various Construction regulations.
Briefly there is an duty on all party's to a construction project to consider how all stages of a construction project can be planned and carried out in a safe manner and this starts with the client who has to insure safety is considered from the inception. This must be formally recorded in a live document and is passed along from/to each party as a project proceeds ultimately ending with the end user as the Health & Safety/Operation & Maintenance File

A search through the HSA website will give you some insight in to the regulations/responsibilities for all parties.


A lot of it covered here
